In the Celtic tradition, church communities transcend mere structures, programs, or uniform methods. Instead, this tradition is focused on the formation of small groups dedicated to fostering discipleship and manifesting God's presence within their midst. This approach goes beyond the goal of conversion but instead cultivates faith communities where believers can grow and deepen their spiritual strength and even find spiritual healing. The Anglican Church Knoxville – Community of St. Jude embraces this unique methodology, striving to build a vibrant, nurturing environment where faith can flourish, and individuals are continuously fortified in their beliefs.
Our community provides:
A Haven of Healing: If you've been hurt by a church, felt excluded from a faith community, or simply walked away from your beliefs, you are welcome here at the Anglican Community of St. Jude's. We also open our arms to those considering a new church community, whether you are new to the area or seeking a change. We recognize the pain and disillusionment that can accompany spiritual journeys.
