How we started
Brandon & Rachel Powell
Ron & Angela Smiley
Mosaic Life Fellowship began in Greenbrier, TN on a crisp October night in 2013, when a small group gathered for Bible studies at Ron Smiley's home, co-taught by Brandon Powell. These gatherings evolved into weekly church services where they worshipped through music, shared communion, and studied God's word. Inspired by the enthusiasm within their group, they named their gathering "Porch Light," symbolizing their desire to welcome all and be a beacon of Jesus' light in the community.
As the group grew, they quickly outgrew the space in Smiley's living room and transitioned to an established church storefront in the Madison/Goodlettsville TN area for Sunday evening services. Here, they announced their intention to study Scripture from a Hebraic perspective, sparking excitement and fostering spiritual and numerical growth. Eventually, they officially changed their name to Mosaic Life Fellowship and established themselves as a Hebraic Roots congregation. After several months of meetings, they decided to shift their gathering day to Saturday.
