"To Know Christ
And To Show Christ"
Community Service
We strive to share Christ with our community of Arminda in East Knoxville. Frequently we sponsor events such as car shows, flea markets, fish fries, fall festivals, youth & children events plus we make homemade tamales for sale.
We are ever striving to meet our neighbors and share Christ through our service to the community.
