Also note the links for bulletins and online giving.   Stay well and thank you for continuing to adapt to these temporary changes as we continue to BE the church. Going to church is great. Being the church is greater. So if you are in an at-risk group or are more comfortable at this time worshiping from home, please join us with the live feed or a subsequent recording.

Attention Please:  
​For your  information, the security and safety team would like for you to be aware that 1stChurch now operates surveillance cameras inside and outside church property.


Holston Conference issued a call for Cleaning Kits,  Hygiene Kits and monetary donations to restock for supplies which had been depleted by recent disasters current issues like Haiti, and planning for future ones.

If your church plans to assemble kits, they may be delivered to the Three Rivers District Ministry Center.  It is always a good idea to call ahead of time to make certain someone is in the office to accept your delivery.
