A new Lutheran Church meeting at Crescent School in Greeneville on the second Sunday of each month.
Why a new Lutheran Church in Greeneville?
Some of the first people to call Greeneville home called themselves Lutheran. Look around our community today - some of our oldest buildings are Lutheran churches. These early residents prized the truth that we are saved by grace through faith as revealed in Scripture. They had a strong sacramentology and believed that the church is a historic and unchanging institution founded by Christ himself.
While the name “Lutheran” continues in many churches, sadly the things that Lutherans originally believed and taught have changed in many churches that still have that name.
The Lutheran Church in Greeneville, by the grace of God, is seeking to bring biblical Lutheranism back to our community.
Our Plan
The Lutheran Church in Greeneville is a mission partnership of Living Promise in Morristown and Living Word in Johnson City.
Step one is to first meet monthly and gather interest and momentum.
Step two is to call our own, full-time pastor to serve our growing congregation.
Step three is construct a place of worship here in our community.
We would love for you to be a part of this plan. While the timing, details, and results are known and given only by God, we are confident in his goodness and promises to us.
