Looking for Church in TN

[Pastor Bill]

I know we have alot of people in TN, and I'd like to help my MIL find a good church.

She lives in Jellico, but does alot of driving (works in home healthcare) and mentioned driving past a CoGoP in Oliver Springs anyone know much about the church, or other churches in that area?

We go to the Arrowhead COGOP in Knoxville. I think the Oliver Springs church is really small. I think our church has done some work there sometimes.

Arrowhead runs anywhere between 80-120 on Sunday mornings. The pastor is Terry Barnwell. If she wants to see a service and is computer savvy, we broadcast Sunday services at www.arrowheadchurch.org.

You can PM me if you have any particular questions.

[Pastor Bill]

Thanks, I'll pass that along to her, it might be a little far for her (she drives so much through the week, I know she doesn't want to do much more driving) but I would like to see her find a good home church, she has been in and out for years, but is very dedicated, it's just that the little independent church she was attending closed, and she hasn't really found anything since.

[Pastor Chip]

It has been a long time since I've been to the Oliver Springs church. I use to pastor in the same district and I have preached there several times. It is a small church, but the pastor, Roy Massengale, is a super great guy and the people are friendly. I can PM you with his number if you want.

[Pastor Bill]

If you pastored in that district you may also know other churches than may be closer to her, she is in Jellico. Although she has not been regularly attending, she is pretty strong in her faith, and when she was in church, she about kept the whole church running (it was a small independent church and the pastor pulled out and moved out of state, leaving the church in her son's hands, he was VERY young, was called to preach, but was just too young to really pastor. (not just age, but maturity, he had only been back in church a few months, recently married, and really not sure where his life was going).

She would be an asset to a church, and a good worker, I just worry since she's been without a home church, and she doesn't get to come see us often enough to really count it, but we're probably the closest to a home church she has right now.

I had to look on a map for Jellico, but it looks as if she is probably closer to the church in Clinton. Looks like it's about 30 miles south of Jellico off I-75.

[Pastor Bill]

Yeah, I know where Clinton is, but didn't realize we had a church there. not too bad of a drive, alot of that depends on where she is working, she happened to drive past the Oliver Springs church on one of her visits last week.
