will flow rivers of living water." John 7:38

About East Tennessee Baptist Church

We are an evangelical Southern Baptist Church built on the biblical foundation as expressed in such documents as the First London Confession of 1644 and 1646 as well as the Abstract of Principles used by the founders of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1858. 

We are committed to exegetical preaching and teaching of the "whole counsel of God", (Acts 20:27). 

It is our desire to bring glory and pleasure to our Heavenly Father by enjoying and being satisfied in Him as we walk by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

It is also our desire to share the unsearchable riches of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Ephesians 3:8), in the dry and thirsty land, (Psalm 63:1), of spiritual famine, (Amos 8:11), that we find surrounding us today in east Tennessee,  through out the nation and the world.

We have been blessed with a loving, caring and giving fellowship with families spread out over Blount County ministering to surrounding counties. 

If you are already a member of a local church in east Tennessee we look forward to opportunities for fellowship and cooperation as we serve the Lord Jesus Christ together. If you are currently without a church home or new to east Tennessee we invite you to come and join us for worship, fellowship and ministry.
