• Summary:Oakwood Baptist Church is a small, come-as-you-are congregation located at 111 E. Columbia Ave in North Knoxville (between Fountain City and downtown) that emphasizes fellowship before and after services and welcomes both Knoxville natives and recent transplants. Children's Church during the 10:45 AM worship offers age-appropriate Bible lessons, memory verses, and songs, and the Wednesday 6:00 PM Bible study meets in the Sanctuary; both Sunday services and midweek study are live-streamed on Facebook, which the church also uses for weather and closure updates. The congregation is active in local missions—currently running a diaper drive (goal: 2,000 diapers or $500) and partnering with groups like Hand Up For Women, Angelic Ministries, Yoke Youth Ministries, IMB, and TBMB—and names Integrity, Compassion, Excellence, and Faithfulness as core values. Practical amenities include online giving through Software4Nonprofits and a Squarespace website, and leadership includes Interim Pastor Chris Edmonds, long-serving Music Minister Steve Redwine, pianist Laura Harmon (M.M.), and Ministry Assistant Karen Mills.
