Riverside
Throughout the months of May, June, and July, we offer an 8:30 am outdoor worship service at our beautiful Riverside Pavilion. Join us in this relaxed worship service in the beauty of God's creation! For information on Kids Ministry please check out the FAQs below.

Sunset Worship
We are currently dreaming of something new. A new kind of worship service designed to be a rest and reset from the busyness of our lives. Starting in May, once a month, we will gather at sunset overlooking downtown Knoxville and the Tennessee River.
This will be a time of worship that is quiet, contemplative, and restful. Please check our calendar for dates and times. We recommend bringing a bag chair. Because the service takes place later in the evening, specific childcare will not be provided.

Sanctuary
While Riverside and Sunset worship are seasonal, Sanctuary Worship is offered year-round at 10:45 AM in our main building. All are welcome. This service is also live-streamed, and you can view it below.

Yes, you are welcome. First Church Knox is a community open to all people. We live out that openness by welcoming everyone. We do not have to think alike, dress alike, vote alike, or hold anything in common except a love of God and a desire to live in community.

Yes, we offer Communion on the first Sunday of each month. In the Methodist Church, everyone is invited to the table to take in the Body and Blood of Christ. As part of welcoming all people, we use grape juice rather than wine.
