As a church in the gateway city of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we seek to be a church for those living here and for the many visitors to our city who come to enjoy the beauty of God's creation by providing facilities for religious services, partaking of the sacraments and worship of God through the mediation of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.

We challenge ourselves and others to grow spiritually through worship, repentance, education, nurture, discussion, fellowship, outreach and evangelism, and to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in prayers, works and actions to strengthen our saving faith.

We shall reach out in Christian fellowship to minister to others locally, nationally, and internationally through sharing our talents, gifts and resources, and participate in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Lord of the Universe.
