Vision & Mission Statement

Vision
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." (Proverbs 29:18) These words from the Bible challenge First Baptist Church in Knoxville to have a focus on the future and an understanding of God's vision and direction for our church. Without this vision we will wander aimlessly and finally perish. With this vision, we will bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.

The church exists . . .
to reach out to the world with thegood news of Jesus Christ,
to love God through worship,
to encourage the family of faith through fellowship,
to equip believers through discipleship,
and to serve the needs of the world through missions.
