Knoxville has "holiness" churches. It's not far from Gatlinburg. I've preached there.

Ain't one. The only one I know of is a Bro Smith in Maryville, and I am not sure of his standing amongst his peers. You can drive about 2 hours up to Bristol, TN and find a good church. You can drive about 3 hours west and find a few churches in the outer Nashville area.

Ask Bro Epley or Bishop1. Between the 2 of them, they know every soul that has ever named the name of Jesus.

I've been there - preached there - great church - many new converts!! Grown from a few to 200 in a very short time. Bunches being baptized and being filled with the Holy Ghost.

It all depends on your definition of "holiness". WH is agin TV's in saints houses, cause if they are there, the pastor is not preaching hard enough agin them!

Then, as I said earlier, he'll have to go up in the hills and handle the rattlesnakes. He's not going to find one of those there. God bless him much and give him a new experience he will never forget.

However, a group of strangers from different parts of the country known to each other through GNC got together in Gatlinburg about 4 years ago. We visited Bro. Carpenter's church in Marysville, Tennessee (a scenic 1 hour ride from Gatlinburg) on a Wednesday night.

The midweek church service was great, the people friendly and the preaching memorable.

Fellowship before and after; divine! Thanks St Matt (who provided the kool aid) and his family, Servant and his family; HO and Foreverblessed for a great memory. And Lady Rev too who joined the women later that week for that ill-fated raft ride down the river...

Would you by any chance know the address of this church. I would like to go to map quest and get directions.

What good is all of that if they have a tv?

my cousin, with all her tact (not) made a crack about handling snakes - totally meaning it as a joke..


the lady got real mad and proceeded to give my cousin the what for - b/c they WERE a snake handling church...

they left there as soon as they could..

I would have LOVED to have been there

I'm laughing just thinking about it!

I don't want t church that will skin you, but I do want one where the women don't cut their hair, wear make-up or pants, where no one wears jewelry, and the pastor preaches against TV.
