May 5 Celebration at Faith Lutheran Church, Knoxville, TN
All Are Invited!
The congregation of Faith Lutheran Church in Knoxville, TN celebrated this Easter in a new, larger sanctuary, having successfully acquired the land and buildings of New Light Presbyterian Church on Jamestowne Boulevard adjacent to their current Farragut campus.
"We were happy to celebrate Easter with one worship service," said the Rev. Bob Stelter. The congregation had grown much larger than the sanctuary could accommodate in one service so the church had been offering two traditional services in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings and a contemporary service in the church gym.
The purchase came about as the result of a Capital Campaign called "Creating Holy Space" launched by the congregation in 2011. The intended purpose of the campaign was to build a new sanctuary on the nearly 6-acre corner lot the church occupies. But that goal changed when the adjacent property was made available.
With the acquisition, Faith Lutheran Church now owns over 11 acres on the corner of Campbell Station Road and Jamestown Boulevard. The buildings on the two properties give the church over 61,000 square feet of space. The newly acquired sanctuary and church building were built in 1978 by St. John Neumann Church. St. John Neumann sold the property in 2005 to Northshore Presbyterian Church.
In addition to the newly acquired property, Faith Lutheran has maintained a campus in Loudon County since 2006. The Rev. Chris Hansen provides services at the Lake Campus located in Tellico Village.
On May 5 at 5:00 p.m. Bishop Julian Gordy will consecrate the new sanctuary. All are welcome to attend and celebrate this joyous occasion. |
