What really sold us on this church is that it's real people and they genuinely want to get to know you. Which is a big deal to us we were done with overly religious places and people that act fake and only meet once a week. Here not only were we approached by the pastors but other church memebers also to meet up over coffee or a meal and that if we had any questions regarding the gospel or life in general to feel free to talk to them. In addition to that there are multiple opportunities to meet besides just Sunday at groups or in out reach opportunities. The pastor preaches practical uses of the gospel for real issues for in this time. He is a really great guy with a kind and genuine heart that is super easy to talk with. Also if one of us happen to be unable to make it on a Sunday they stream the services on Facebook so we can watch from home which is super convenient. My Wife and I have been coming here since 2016 and this place has become apart of our family it has a heart for this community and the people in it and we love this place so much. Oh yeah I almost forgot it also has a coffee shop in the front with awesome coffee and tea options!

The downtown church in Knoxville is Church Street United Methodist Church. Dating back to 1814,…read morethe congregation has had several buildings during that time, most notably the current location at 900 Henley Street. Prior to that the church was located at 410 Church Street from 1879 until a fire destroyed that building; February 19th, 1928. The church has a marvelous gothic sanctuary with a glorious pipe organ and a renowned choir. They are a United Methodist Church congregation and have two pastors, Senior Pastor Rev. Catherine Clark Nance and Sr. Associate Rev. Timothy Best. They follow a typical United Methodist liturgical calendar and worship service. The church has ample parking, is handicap accessible, has beautifully landscaped grounds, and a steeple and bell tower that rises 141 above the ground. It is within easy walking distance to UT's campus, the Fort Sanders neighborhood, or the downtown area. This is Knoxville's premiere United Methodist Church. Worship services on Sunday are at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Follow me on Yelp for more places to see and things to do in Knoxville and East Tennessee.

So, we parked in the Locust Street parking lot. On Weekends and after 6pm during the week, you can park in them for FREE...that is awesome!! So, Tony, Noel and I went Urban Hiking and we trekked past this gorgeous large First Baptist Church in Knoxville on Main Street. This church is gorgeous. I tried to go inside but the doors were locked. I am not used to the doors being locked. But, I guess because of the homeless issues and crime issues, they have to lock the doors...I just find that hard to understand..the world...don't get me started..!!! But, I wish I could have gone inside. There was some lovely blooming bushes on the grounds. History of the church I found online: First Baptist Church is a historic church located at 510 Main Street in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. The congregation was founded in 1843 when a small group of Baptists led by James and John Moses met in the courthouse to adopt Articles of Faith and organize a church. It was affiliated with the Tennessee Association of Baptists, but became a member of the Southern Baptist Convention when that body was organized in 1845. After its first baptismal service in nearby First Creek, the church had 46 members, including 20 African-Americans. The church is believed to have organized its first Sunday School in 1845. The first building was constructed on Gay Street in 1850. The second building was constructed in 1888. The third (and present) building was completed in 1924 at the Main Street location, three years after Dr. Frederick Fernando Brown became pastor. This architecturally-significant structure, noteworthy for its Neoclassical design and octagonal sanctuary, was designed by Dougherty & Gardner of Nashville, Tennessee, and is modeled on St Martin-in-the-Fields of London. The exterior of the church sanctuary is sheathed in marble, although the adjoining education space is brick. The church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship..When young James C. Moses came to Knoxville in 1838 to work as a printer for the semi-weekly newspaper, The Times, he attended First Presbyterian Church, and for a while directed the choir. When his brother, John, joined him in Knoxville, the young men began to wish for a Baptist church, Neither James nor John had been baptized, but they came from a solid Baptist background in Exeter, New Hampshire. In 1842 there was no Baptist church in Knoxville. There were Methodist and Presbyterian congregations in this village of about 2,000 people, and out in the country several small Baptist churches met monthly on different farms. Through their friends in New Hampshire, the two young men approached the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and a missionary, Rev. J.A. Bullard, was sent to Knoxville in the fall of 1842. On January 15, 1843, James and John Moses, with three young ladies and some "borrowed" Baptists from the rural churches, met in a room at the court house to adopt the Articles of Faith and organize a Baptist church. These "borrowed" Baptists agreed to come to town till the new church got started, and then they would go back to their own churches, primarily Third Creek, Beaver Dam and Beaver Ridge churches. Seven days later, January 22, the Baptist Church of Knoxville was constituted and met to hold the first church service. Six days after that, January 28, they had their first baptismal service in the cold Tennessee River near the mouth of First Creek. First Creek at that time ran along in front of where the Coliseum is now and entered the river down behind Blount Mansion. It has all been covered over by highway now. In a report to the Mission Society, Rev. Bullard wrote: "Thousands of people witnessed the ceremony as they had probably never seen it before. They took positions on the elevated banks of the river, on the tops of homes, and in boats on the river. Three of the persons baptized were students at the East Tennessee University and one was a publisher." James Moses was baptized that day and John, the following May More at the website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Baptist_Church_(Knoxville,_Tennessee) If you are in the Knoxville area you must walk by this church and go inside if you can.
