⭐ Volunteer Highlight ⭐

Meet Justin! One of our Champion Men, as we call the men who serve with us. Justin is among many who volunteer their time to invest in future families who walk through our doors.

We asked Justin what he loves most about serving at PRC. His answer is one we hear on repeat. Listen to what he said...

I love the moment when someone- clients and volunteers alike- realizes that Jesus is a real person who communicates, loves, listens, and cares.

It so often takes a crisis for a person to finally see Him and hear Him, but that makes the situation grace, rather than judgment.

If you have a love and desire to invest, mentor, and care for the next generation and their babies, maybe volunteering is a role for you, and we need more mentors in Maryville, Sevierville, and on board our mobile clinic. Click the link in our bio to start your volunteer application today!

“There are no small churches, because we don’t serve a small God.” Mark Clifton gets at what the Bible clearly displays: God is glorified as Christ's church is built among all nations.

For going on three years now, Chilhowee Baptists partner with Thai Baptist churches to plant other Thai Baptist churches to see the gospel advance in local communities. These friendships and partnerships are glorious to participate in! Consider if God would have you join in this work, and hear from Justin Davis below on this beautiful partnership.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude! Tennessee Baptist churches set out to raise $2.7 million for the 2025-2026 Golden Offering for Tennessee Missions, and $300,000 for the Golden Offering Special Projects, for a total of $3 Million, and together, you gave $3,244,864.68 — far exceeding our goal!

This offering represents so much more than dollars. It represents prayers lifted up, sacrifices made, and a shared commitment across our state to see the Gospel go forward — through missionaries, church plants, ministries, and outreach touching lives in Tennessee and around the world.

To every congregation, every Sunday School class, every family and individual who gave — thank you. Your faithfulness is making a Kingdom impact that will echo for years to come.

We Pray. We Give. We Go. Together!!!

“Discernment is like an immune system. You'll die if yours stops working and won't attack disease, but you'll also die if it starts overworking and thinks everything is a disease.”
