Meet the Pastors of The Belonging Co

Henry & Alex Seeley The Belonging Co College

Henry + Alex Seeley

Born and raised in Australia, Henry and Alex Seeley spent many years on the pastoral team at a church in Melbourne (Aus) pioneering a worship movement that grew to become a church of over 10,000 people.

After relocating to Nashville, TN in April 2012, they began opening their home on Tuesday nights for people to worship, encounter God and build genuine community in a city where people’s personal and spiritual lives often succumb to the transient nature of ‘life on the road.’ Within a few months, their basement was at capacity and subsequently, The Belonging Co was born.
