Vision

In Knoxville
as it is in heaven

In Knoxville as it is in heaven is a phrase we use a lot (and plaster on most everything we hand out) to describe how we feel called to live as a church. It’s very unoriginal; we stole it directly from Jesus’ famous “Lord’s prayer” and just changed the word “earth” to “Knoxville.”

But in just a handful of words, it describes the goal of followers of Jesus living in our city. We want to see God’s kingdom come, his will be done in Knoxville, as it is in heaven. What we want for Knoxville is what God wants: that people would come to know him, follow him, and devote their lives to making him known.

So we invite you to join us in living with this simple, yet profound vision: in Knoxville as it is in heaven.
