Why Missions?

‍

We, the church, are encouraged to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. That's you and me!What does all the world mean? Acts 1:8 says “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

‍

"Here at Calvary Knoxville we consider our Jerusalem to be the Knoxville area and we are reaching  that area by:

• Ministry we do here at the church throughout the week
• Radio ministry that reaches out in the community,  Evangelism training ministry  reaches throughout Knoxville. Also, through other ministries we support like Child Evangelism Fellowship and Good News Clubs, the Arabic Church of Knoxville, Hope Resource Center, Karm and Street Hope.

We consider our Judea to be outside of Knoxville and we support  groups like:  

• Samaritans Purse
• Our Relief program that goes and helps clean up and rebuild after natural disaster

We consider our Samaria to be the next ring out in places like:

• Honduras which we had a trip to in June of this year where we put a well in a community that had no fresh water and ministered to the local church through evangelism and children's ministry and Costa Rica where we will be supporting a local Calvary Chapel

And finally “to the ends of the earth”

• We had a team return from Uganda where they had the opportunity to feed many hungry families and pray for the sick, hand distribute over 400 pair of reading Glasses and see a number of people come to Christ.
