If you are a member or regular attender, we are glad that you are seeking more information about your church. You already know that we are an alive, vibrant church reaching out to the community and world in the name of Christ.

We are grateful to God for allowing us to be a part of the Body of Christ. We have been here on Hotel Road in Knoxville for 184 years and hope you will travel with us into the next 184 years. Even if you are a part of another congregation, or live some distance away, we ask for your prayers for us as we seek to be the church God wants us to be.
