===Belmont Avenue Church of Christ=== [[Don Finto]] became involved with the Belmont Avenue Church of Christ (now simply Belmont Church), an ailing old inner city church in [[Nashville, Tennessee]],{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} YUS on [[Music Row]] between the public housing and several universities: Peabody, [[Vanderbilt University|Vanderbilt]] and [[Belmont College]] etc. By the summer of 1971, the membership roll had dropped to about 75 elderly members. The church had mainstream roots in the a cappella [[Churches of Christ]], but was transformed and firmly placed in the Jesus movement by an influx of countercultural Christians. Seating ran out, with people sitting on the windowsills or on the stage. It was not rare to find them walking the worst parts{{clarify|date=July 2022}} of Lower Broadway witnessing to [[prostitutes]] and addicts. The concerts that were held at the Koinonia Coffee House on weekends helped east coast [[Christian music]] to grow in popularity.{{sfnmp|1a1=Smith|1y=2020|2a1=Payne|2y=2024}} The house band was called Dogwood, and various musicians regularly appeared on stage, such as Dogwood, [[Amy Grant]],{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} [[Brown Bannister]],{{sfnp|Smith|2020}} [[Chris Christian]], [[Don Francisco (Christian musician)|Don Francisco]], Fireworks, and Annie and Steve Chapman.{{sfnp|Smith|2020}}
