Gathering Groups
Sunday Mornings
Jay Summers
865-363-1701
This is a great group of guys of all ages and from all backgrounds. They believe men need brothers to not only meet up with but also do life with. They meet Sunday mornings from 8 to 9am in the Fellowship Hall and are known to share biscuits from time to time. Contact Jay for more information.
The Deep Dive
This Group is lead by Pastor Mark and takes deep, scriptural treks through some tough biblical texts and into some daunting questions. This semester will tackle a believer’s Assurance of Salvation in Romans 8 and will dabble in some Ancient Bible History from Genesis 1-11. All adults and Middle and High School students are invited. We’ll also break out into smaller groups from time to time for discussion. Meeting times are each Sunday morning from 9:30-10:30am. A Sunday School experience is provided for all children.
Sunday Evening
The Miller House
865-680-9325
This group loves to fellowship, eat well, and enter into deep spiritual and biblical discussions. Skip, their almost fearless leader, says that cookies are the highlight of their gathering experience. This group meets bi-weekly on Sunday evenings at the Miller house. Time: 6-8pm. For Group schedule and details, contact Angie Miller.
John Bailey
865-660-1734
An extremely loving and caring group that includes all ages, married or not and with or without kids. They love to go deeply into the Word of God and take part in multiple opportunities to do life together even outside of church events. They love to follow God’s leading as they meet and always welcome sharing of life’s struggles and victories. They meet on Sunday nights from 6-8pm here at the church, and childcare will be provided.
Wednesday Evening
Dick and Arlene King
865-237-3073
Actually it’s only led by Dick, but we find that including Arlene in this blurb helps get more people to come to his group. No, really, you will be loved on, listened to, and enjoy becoming a part of this caring and shepherding family of believers. They meet during Teamkidz for all ages of kids and also during our student ministry gathering… right in the middle of the week. You can start the night off with our Wednesday night dinners beginning at 5:15pm. This Group meets from 6:30-8pm each Wednesday evening in the Education Wing, room 101. For more details contact Arlene
