Small Groups

We have Small Groups that meet across Knoxville in the homes of some of our body. We currently have four Small Groups and we would love to add you to one of our groups. The format varies but is typically a time of singing and prayer. There is an emphasis on Bible study and sharing Gods Word. Many of our groups then have a time of food and fellowship. This is a great environment to get to know new visitors as well as grow closer to our family.


The Four Groups are: 

  1. The Price/Rider/Shannon group that meets at either the Rider or Prices' house. 
  2. The Summers group which typically meets at the building often after our Fourth Sunday Fellowship. 
  3. The Brackney Family group which meets at the home of Mark and Christine Brackney. 
  4. The Young Adult group which meets at the home of Stephen and Grace Brackney.

Contact Mark Brackney or Tommy Drinnen to get added to a group. We would love to have you.

Senior Servants

Our Senior servants remain a vital part of our family. With the changing dynamic of families, extended and blended families there is a growing need to get everyone involved. 


We believe our Senior Servants are one of our most valuable assets. They are a pro-active group that looks for opportunities to server and contribute their time and energy. On top of that that they pour their hearts out to help one another and to help our younger families fill gaps that may exist. 


Just a few of the ways in which our Senior Servants serve:

  • Thanksgiving Baskets for our Shut In's
  • Monthly Bible Studies
  • Small Group Studies
  • Men's Breakfast
  • Women's Prayer Group



Young Families

This growing group at Arlington is made up of young adult singles, single again, newly married couples and couples with young children.  


The group meets the second Sunday of each month for a small group Bible study at 5 p.m.  They typically meet in Stephen and Grace Brackney's house.  Small Groups are an integral part of who we are and how we grow. 

The Young adults love to gather and do things like: 

  • game night 
  • guys or girl’s night out 
  • hiking 
  • camping
  • movie nights          
  • These events help grow relationships.  


Stephen and Grace Brackney and Tommy Drinnen help organize this group.

Youth Group

We take a slightly different view of youth ministry than some churches. We don’t believe the responsibility for the spiritual formation of our youth lies with a youth minister. We believe parents are responsible so we attempt to come alongside them in this vital role.  We don’t want to isolate our youth from their parents. We want the family to grow together. Our Sunday morning worship assembly is fully integrated where the entire family is encouraged to worship as a unit. Each Sunday is family Sunday. We do have a training / cry room for toddlers and a staffed nursery to offer assistance if needed. There is an optional children’s sermon that those three to eight years of age can attend after communion is served if they desire during the sermon.

 

  • We do provide activities for youth to gather and grow in their relationships with each other, but parents are always invited and encouraged to attend.  
  • We have classes for youth on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.  
  • We also have fall family camp at Hillbrook Camp in Karns.  
  • We attend Winterfest in February of each year – a large youth rally for the middle and high school age.
