Welcome to Knoxville
Since 2022, Search has been creating opportunities for adults in Knoxville to explore questions about life, faith, purpose, and God through honest conversation and genuine relationships.
You do not need to have your beliefs settled before you begin. Search is for people who are curious, skeptical, uncertain, or simply willing to think more deeply about the questions that matter most.
Faith does not have to start with certainty.
Sometimes the best conversations begin with a question you have been carrying for a while. Search Knoxville brings people together in natural settings, from coffee shops and living rooms to shared interests and conversations around the Vols.
The goal is not to push you toward a quick answer. It is to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and explore life and faith in the context of trusted relationships.
If you are looking for a place to ask honest questions and have a real conversation, connect with the Search Knoxville team.

What we're doing in Knoxville
-
Forums
Group gatherings where any question is welcome. Forums create an opportunity to explore life’s biggest questions about God, meaning, suffering, and purpose.
-
Follow-Up
One-on-one conversations that often grow out of Forums. Follow-Up provides space to listen, reflect, and explore questions at a personal pace in the context of a trusted relationship.
-
Foundations
Group conversations designed to explore who God is and what it means to know him personally. Foundations offers a thoughtful and relational look at Jesus and the core truths of the Christian faith.
-
Formation
Formation is for those who want to continue growing in their faith and learn to share it naturally through everyday relationships. It focuses on spiritual growth, relational wisdom, and living faith in community.
