More About us

At Fern Street Missionary Baptist Church, we believe church is more than a building—it’s a movement of people committed to loving God and serving others. Since our founding, we’ve been a spiritual anchor in East Knoxville, grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and guided by a mission to uplift our community.

We are a multigenerational, Bible-believing church where worship is heartfelt, prayer is powerful, and outreach is essential. Whether it’s Sunday worship, midweek Bible study, or meeting practical needs through food distribution and community events, Fern Street is a place where faith meets action.

Our leadership, ministries, and partnerships reflect our deep belief in justice, compassion, and transformation. We don’t just gather—we grow, we serve, and we go.

Come see what God is doing through Fern Street—and how you can be part of it.
