The Empty Hands Fellowship is a group of Christian leaders and laymen from various races, denominations, and churches in the Franklin area. We are "empty handed" because we do not believe that there is anything "within us" or "between us" that amounts to anything, except that we trust in Jesus Christ and want to share the experience of being transformed into his image, while we live out the love and unity that he desires (John 13:34-35, 17:20-221).

We have a simple agenda: we seek unity, reconciliation, and encouragement for ourselves and our churches, as we look to Jesus Christ together.

Our relationships and commitments are unique because there are significant differences among us and between our churches. And yet, more importantly, we all hold the single most important thing about ourselves and our churches in common. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that humans can be saved if they will place their faith in him. This is called "the Gospel".
