If you are ever in the Maryville, Tennessee area, I highly recommend visiting First Apostolic Church of Maryville. Some of the finest people you will ever meet attend this church. Everything they do is truly first class, from the way they welcome guests to the spirit of excellence throughout the service. You can feel the power and presence of God from the moment you drive onto the parking lot until the moment you leave. The worship is powerful, the people are genuine, and the atmosphere is filled with faith and love. This is a wonderful church that is making a real impact in its community Michael and Sarah Nichols

I had the joy of attending a service of praise and worship when the Indiana Bible College Chorale sang last night. The church is beautiful inside and out. The members of the church who introduced themselves were so friendly and welcoming. The presence of The Lord was tangible in the house! I drove from Michigan just to come to the service but it was also a great chance to see my family that lives in Maryville. I visit them at least once a year and from now on, if I'm there for a Sunday morning, I will make this where I come to worship.

We had the opportunity to visit FAC Maryville while on vacation. What an experience! If you live in the local area and are looking for a church to call home, look no further this is it! The people are wonderful, A+ hospitality from the moment you enter the building. The music and the singing is wonderful... the preaching is tremendous, and most importantly the presence of God can be felt throughout the service. If you are thinking about visiting, I would encourage you to go and check it out for yourself... you will want to make this your new place of worship.

I moved from Ohio and came out here to start a business. We’ve been going to this church now for four years. I’ve made friends here. My wife and my kids have also made friends. There are groups of kids here of all ages and a lot of older couples, middle-aged couples and young newly weds. but more than anything. It’s a place where you can truly feel God.

Great experience here. Friendly folks and Bible preaching. We love to visit here when we're in Tennessee.

If the school is any indication of the type of people that go to the church in the same building then that is no where I would send my kids or attend. Completely unsportsmanlike conduct at the basketball game tonight. We will pray for you and your school.

Awesome church, we loved being able to drop our little ones off at their kids quest program so we could enjoy service. The people and staff were warm and inviting. Good church!
