We are located at 424 Melrose Street, in Bristol, Tennessee – just a few blocks away from our local high school and middle school. In 2023, our average attendance was just over 200 per week.

On Wednesdays, we have a church-wide fellowship meal at 5:30pm followed by classes for all ages at 6:30pm. We have benefitted from excellent staff stability in recent years and hope to see our positive momentum carried forward with our next Senior Minister. Our recently renovated Vision, Mission, and Values (VMV) are as follows:
Vision – Hope Changes Everything
Mission – Love God. Love People. Serve Both.
Values – Christ is Central. Scripture is Truth. Community is Vital. Spiritual Growth is Essential. The Next Generation is a Priority.
