The Volunteer Bus

What began as a fan-favorite tailgating bus has transformed into a ministry in the Knoxville area.   The Vol Bus Owner, Wendy Boles is an active member of our congregation, and an outstanding, encouraging person. Wendy is a Knoxville native and truly a "Volunteer For Life!"  She  loves meeting other people, serving the Knoxville Community, feeding the homeless,  and encouraging local churches and community groups to serve and truly show the volunteer spirit everywhere they go!

"Give and it will be given unto you."  -Luke 6:38

Hope Resource Center

Hope Resource Center is a cost-free healthcare center for women offering medical care by licensed professionals for reproductive health concerns, education, and connection with community resources. Our mission is to equip women to make informed and healthy reproductive decisions.  "Abortion is just a few clicks away. Hope can be too."

All services offered by Hope Resource Center are free and confidential. No proof of insurance or proof of employment is required.

Hand Up For Women

Hand UP for Women impacts the Knoxville community where all women, regardless of culture or socio-economic status, are well-equipped to wisely manage their lives and sustain adequate employment to meet their needs and secure their family’s future.
They strive to reach out with the love of Christ to women in our community who desire to move from dependency to self-sufficiency in every aspect of life. Many of these women have lost hope and have nowhere to turn.

Angelic Ministries

Across East Tennessee, families face crises that leave them without stability, dignity, or hope—lacking basic necessities, trapped in addiction, or facing homelessness and broken relationships. Too often, help is fragmented: physical needs met without healing the heart, or accountability without grace.
Angelic Ministries exists to provide both the material/ physical needs, while also providing an opportunity for spiritual needs to be met. Through their ministry, lives have been changed, families have been restored, and addiction has been broken.

Women's Jail Ministry

Ladies within our congregation minister to the local jails by serving and loving women who have been incarcerated.  Each woman has the opportunity to listen to a Bible study, pray with members of our team, and talk about needs within their life. We believe that every man and woman should have the opportunity to learn about their Creator who loves them - despite their past failures or current position.

ETHNOS 360 - The Housley Family

We support this ministry both financially and prayerfully. ETHNOS 360 serves tribes in very remote areas of the world where the Gospel is not easily accessible. Missionaries go into an area to build relationships with people in order to communicate, translate, & congregate with the people of that specific region. Once the language barrier is no longer a hurdle, the missionaries will develop an alphabet - leading to a translated copy of the Bible in that specific language!
We directly sponsor the Housley family who serve in Papua, New Guinea. They have developed wonderful relationships with the native tribes and are currently in the process of completing the first fully translated Bible in the local language. Join us in prayer for the Housley's!
