Calvary does expository teaching. This means no mincing words, never skipping the hard stuff that most other churches skip over. A good church teaches ALL of the Bible! This church is a great one!

This church is an earthly home! Pastor Mark is gifted with teaching. He talks fast but goes deep, he’s experienced with speaking and knows how to make us laugh here and there, but most importantly he teaches directly from the Bible verse-by-verse! The Young Adults group is also a highlight of every week with pastor Clint and fellowship!

We love the teaching verse by verse precept upon precept. The whole Word taught. Worship is real, it's heart felt, and biblical. Pastor Mark is a passionate, amazing teacher and pastor who clearly loves the Word loves the LORD and has the fear of the LORD as he leads those in his care. We are blessed. They go to God first in prayer in all they do. -Patrick and Lesa McCluskey

Great Church! We have been attending for close to a year now. It is nice & laid back! Don’t have to worry about people judging you for what you wear. Pastor Mark teaches straight from the Bible & teaches the truth. He doesn’t sugarcoat it. I have learned a lot. Verse by verse teaching through the scripture. You get the full context.

Calvary Knoxville is a true blessing for those seeking an authentic and immersive experience in God's Word. Led by Pastor Mark , who has been faithfully serving since 1992 and founded the church in 1997, the congregation is guided through the Bible verse by verse, ensuring that no scripture is overlooked. The church's commitment to expository teaching means they journey systematically from Genesis to Revelation, providing a comprehensive understanding of the scriptures. This approach has profoundly deepened my faith and understanding. The warmth and genuine love from Pastor Mark and the ministry leaders create a welcoming environment where everyone feels like family. Their dedication to teaching the unaltered Word of God is evident in every service. As the church continues to grow, I pray it remains steadfast in its foundation, never swaying from the true Word of God. If you're yearning for a church that delves deeply into the Bible and fosters genuine community, I wholeheartedly recommend Calvary Knoxville.

If you are a true bible student, you will not find a better teacher in the south. If you are searching, their is no better place to ask the questions. The people are genuine and truly love Jesus. This is not a religiosity or churchianity place. God's spirit dwells with his people in this place

Beautiful, Spirit filled music, phenomenal teaching. Can't say enough good things about this church. ** Update 😆 Let me add that it's a little hard to get to know people in such a large group but once you start serving somewhere, it helps tremendously. I started working in the children's ministry last year and it's been such a joy in many different ways. It also builds relationships and boy do we need healthy relationships these days!! If you're looking for a healthy, vibrant, growing, biblical church with an amazing praise team, and many opportunities to serve, please come visit. You'll never want to leave!!! 🥰
