• Summary:Erin Presbyterian Church—voted “Best Church” in the 2024 BLANK Readers’ Poll—is the oldest continuing church in West Knoxville (organized in September 1877 with roots reaching back to an 1872–73 building) and the congregation of about 300 lives out a mission of "belong, become, beyond," emphasizing welcome and diversity. Worship and formation are accessible, with Sunday School at 9:30 AM and worship at 11:00 AM (Communion on the first Sunday), weekly live-streaming and a Vimeo archive, a professionally staffed nursery until noon, Planet Worship for children, Pioneer Club, and an annual Vacation Bible School. The church is outward-facing—hosting a monthly Pub Theology at Abridged Beer Co., running a Bridge Refugee Services campaign, offering the Bridge Builders adult-education/dialogue series (recordings available on Vimeo), and supporting more than 20 local, regional, and global partners including work in Guatemala and Madagascar. Visitors who enjoy the arts or community engagement will find choir, handbells, an active praise band, the Creative Expressions theater program (Journey 7), a blessing box at the entrance, a facility available for community use, and active social media plus online giving options.
