At First Baptist Knoxville, you will discover an inviting family of authentic people that strive to live out lives of faith in Christ together. When you walk through our doors, or join us throughout the city, you can expect a heartfelt greeting from folks much like you: welcoming you to worship, inviting you to Bible study, or enticing you to join them in our latest hands-on missions endeavor. We encourage you to explore this website and learn more about us, and perhaps you will find First Baptist Knoxville to be the church you have been looking for all along.
We begin our Sunday morning at 8:45 a.m. in our First Community Worship Service, which meets in Trentham Hall. Smaller and more contemporary than the 11:00 a.m. service, it is intentionally intimate. Its music is led by our Praise Team composed of vocalists and musicians from across the life of our church.
Our largest worship opportunity is our 11:00 a.m. Worship Service. It is a vibrant, traditional service that is televised and live-streamed each week. This worship expression includes a robed choir, a 56-rank Schantz pipe organ, and a Steinway piano.
First Baptist Knoxville places a high value on the role of music, art, and worship in the life of the church. Make plans to join us in worship!
Our mission is to become disciples of Christ who make disciples. Learn how we do it!
