Good Church in the Gatlinburg TN area
 

We are leaving Monday on vacation. I know where we can go to mid week service but on Sunday we will be the the Gatlinburg are.

Does anyone know of a GOOD CHURCH in that area where we can attend Sunday service?

Check out this website. It's a great Church on the Gatlinburg side of Knoxville. I have preached there numerous times. It's a revival church with many new souls. Awesome church! www.newlifeknox.org

The church already mentioned looks great on the website although I have no personal knowledge of it.

However, a group of strangers from different parts of the country known to each other through GNC got together in Gatlinburg about 4 years ago. We visited Bro. Carpenter's church in Marysville, Tennessee (a scenic 1 hour ride from Gatlinburg) on a Wednesday night.

The midweek church service was great, the people friendly and the preaching memorable.

Fellowship before and after; divine! Thanks St Matt (who provided the kool aid) :) and his family, Servant and his family; HO and Foreverblessed for a great memory. And Lady Rev too who joined the women later that week for that ill-fated raft ride down the river... :killinme

I am from there. There are several oneness churches you can go to. There are small ones and large ones. There is one a few miles from Gatlinburg in Sevierville. There is the one in Maryville which is awesome! Then there is my home church in Knoxville. There are ALJC and UPC churches. The NewLife Knoxville is a good UPC church I know some people that went there. Check out the UPCI.org and ALJC.org

By "good" I think Whole Hearted means "they'll skin you alive for any and everything." Do any of those fit that description?
:)

All the above are "loosey goosey" churches, cause they are full of tv. WH would not like them for that reason alone.


:lol

I think that there's a snake handling church somewhere in the area! :lol

The UPC churches are not doing to tv thing, they are not smart enough to do that. LOL

Oh - if they're looking for a tv-free ALJC or UPCI church in Tennessee - the best bet would probably be just to drive out of Gatlinburg up into the mountains and find the first little Church of Jesus Christ Holiness group or any little free-will Pentecostal church building and go there. They might pass you a rattlesnake while you were singing "He Set Me Free", but at least you wouldn't have any tv's...:killinme:killinme

Truly, the church I mentioned is on the Gatlinburg side of Knoxville - it is a UPC church. There is great worship, great music, great preaching, and you'll probably get to see some baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost while you're there.

there is, I'm not sure where but my cousins daugher is going off to school somewhere in that area of the country and they were out there looking around and trying out churches....well, they ran in to an obviously pente/apo woman at walmart I think and they asked her about church...the lady raved on and on about how great her church was etc.

my cousin, with all her tact (not) made a crack about handling snakes - totally meaning it as a joke..


the lady got real mad and proceeded to give my cousin the what for - b/c they WERE a snake handling church...

they left there as soon as they could..

I would have LOVED to have been there

Bro....I tried to locate a holiness church there last year and couldn't

Knoxville has "holiness" churches. It's not far from Gatlinburg. I've preached there.

Ain't one. The only one I know of is a Bro Smith in Maryville, and I am not sure of his standing amongst his peers. You can drive about 2 hours up to Bristol, TN and find a good church. You can drive about 3 hours west and find a few churches in the outer Nashville area.

Ask Bro Epley or Bishop1. Between the 2 of them, they know every soul that has ever named the name of Jesus. :killinme

I've been there - preached there - great church - many new converts!! Grown from a few to 200 in a very short time. Bunches being baptized and being filled with the Holy Ghost.

It all depends on your definition of "holiness". WH is agin TV's in saints houses, cause if they are there, the pastor is not preaching hard enough agin them! :club

Then, as I said earlier, he'll have to go up in the hills and handle the rattlesnakes. He's not going to find one of those there. God bless him much and give him a new experience he will never forget. :hanky

Would you by any chance know the address of this church. I would like to go to map quest and get directions.

What good is all of that if they have a tv? ;)

I'm laughing just thinking about it! :lol

I don't want t church that will skin you, but I do want one where the women don't cut their hair, wear make-up or pants, where no one wears jewelry, and the pastor preaches against TV.

No Thank you.

Do you have an address or church name so I can find this church? I would appreciate it.

I don't remember Bro Smith's Church name. Honestly, it is probably the only one that preaches against tv in the area.

Aw, come on now! Where's your faith, Brother? :D

You wouldn't like it, they broadcast on TV.

And even though it LOOKS like 200-300 members. They have 700-800 in there!

Man you are sooooooooo funny

Just drive a short four hours and come join us at Christ Church Nashville !!!!:poloroid

Now do you want them to agree with you - or would you be interested in learning a little??? :killinme

Then I definitely wouldn't recommend the one that preach59 is pushin'.

So many new converts there that you are gonna see a lot of makeup, jewelry, pants and cut hair on the women. and the pastor is for sure not gonna be anti-t.v. ;)

I have been to Nashville serveral times and have nevef attended Christ CHurch and never will.

PM incoming

Brother! I'm shocked! Suprised! Downright flabbergasted! NOT! :D

To who?

Your loss. There are great difference between us but CC is a church that loves God and if you came with an open heart you would be blessed.

I would say I am glad I don't have your stinkin attitude but then that would mean I would have it right? LOL!!!!!

I am sure you can find a Church From The One The Of Church Of Jesus Christ groups ,there.

I don't know about any Church of Jesus Christ in the immediate Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area - but there may be one. There is a UPC church in Sevierville which is just a few miles from Pigeon Forge.

But what are their standards?

I at looking for a strong conservative church.

To play it safe it sounds like you ought to just allow your family to only attend your church so you know the preaching and church will be EXACTLY what you want it to be.
