Mission
To open the Bible faithfully, verse by verse, and encourage believers to walk with Christ in everyday life.
The vision for Upward Knoxville
Why Upward Exists
Upward Knoxville is a Bible-centered fellowship in Knoxville where ordinary believers gather to study the Scriptures together.
We teach the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, so that God’s Word can speak clearly into our lives. Our desire is to grow in simple faithfulness, praying together, asking honest questions, and encouraging one another in Christ.
Everyone is welcome. Whether you are new to the Bible or have walked with Jesus for years, there is a place for you here to listen, learn, and grow.
Scripture first
Teaching and conversation stay tethered to the text, with context, clarity, and humility before the Lord.
Fellowship
Real encouragement, prayer, and patience with one another as we grow, not hype, not pressure.
Simplicity
A calm rhythm: ordinary people, an open Bible, and room for the Spirit to work over time in Knoxville.
