THE ZEAL CHURCH STORY
Zeal Church started as a vision from God in the hearts of Pastor JD and
Leah Ost back in 2013. JD and Leah had been part of multiple churches
before and they knew it was time to launch their own. They fell in love
with Nashville, TN, and in 2014 started having launch meetings in their
living room. From there they launched the church in Bellevue Middle
School in February of 2015.
The church grew for three years, and soon they knew they needed to find
a permanent location. The church moved to West Nashville in 2018 and
they remodeled an old vacant Church of Christ Building. This is when the
church took off and quickly grew from two to eventually four services.
At the beginning of this year, they began planning their first campus
launch to handle the steady growth. In 2025, Zeal Church plans to
launch its first campus in South Nashville (Brentwood/Franklin area).
They know God has big plans for Zeal and this campus launch will be the
first of many!
