Current Ministry
“I love, as a representative of the church, to be able to give someone a hug and remind them that their Lord Jesus loves them and will be with them through all of life’s problems,” says Pastor Bob. In his role, Pastor Bob provides encouragement and support to senior adults as they face changes in their lives. He plans trips and programs that not only bring guests into our church, but also bring joy into the lives of lonely seniors.
“We have a great choir of seniors who minister throughout the Knoxville area,” he says. “We also have a wonderful registered nurse who gives them support.”
He sums up his existence in one powerful sentence, “I am just a sinner, saved by His glorious grace.”
