History of Christ Covenant

The vision for a PCA church at the western edge of the county began many years ago in the heart and mind of Rev. Don Hoke, pastor at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church. With that in mind, 12 acres of land was procured at the corner of Kingston Pike and North Hobbs Road near the Knox/Loudon County line.

In August of 1994, the Reverend Jim Barnes was called by Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church to be the church planter for the new church. Reverend Barnes and his family moved to Knoxville and began services in the Cedar Springs Chapel in September 1994. The church moved to the Farragut Middle School in November 1994 and met there until April of 2005.

Construction began on the first phase of the overall building plan in December 2003.

The church began meeting in their new facility in April of 2005.

  1. Phase One of the overall master plan includes a worship center, children and youth wing, adult classrooms and offices for the staff.
  2. Phase Two has been completed and will provide space for our Youth Ministry as well as a music suite for our Music Ministry
  3. Phase Three will include the permanent sanctuary and offices for the staff.
  4. Phase Four will include an athletic building with gymnasium, a racquetball court, walking track and aerobic rooms.

 

Christ Covenant has planted one church in Knoxville.  Redeemer Church began meeting and has purchased a former Baptist Church on 17th Street in downtown Knoxville.
