As a
church in the gateway city of the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, we seek to be a church for those living here and for the
many visitors to our city who come to enjoy the beauty of God's
creation by providing facilities for religious services, partaking
of the sacraments and worship of God through the mediation of
Jesus Christ as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
We challenge ourselves and
others to grow spiritually through worship, repentance, education,
nurture, discussion, fellowship, outreach and evangelism, and to
seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in prayers, works and actions
to strengthen our saving faith.
We shall reach out in Christian
fellowship to minister to others locally, nationally, and
internationally through sharing our talents, gifts and resources,
and participate in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Lord of
the Universe.
