FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Purpose Church Announces Transition from Live Streaming to On-Demand Podcast Services
Purpose Church affectionately known as “The Happiest Place in the Smokies” announces that beginning Sunday, May 24, 2026, the church will no longer livestream its weekly services.
Moving forward, all services will be recorded and made available through the Purpose Church Podcast platform, allowing members and viewers to watch and listen at their convenience.
This transition is being made to help create a more focused in-person worship experience while still providing meaningful access to messages, worship, and ministry content for those unable to attend physically.
We are grateful for every person who has connected with us online through livestreaming over the years. As we move into this next season of ministry, we believe this change will allow us to continue reaching people effectively while placing a renewed emphasis on the power of gathering together in worship.
The Purpose Church Podcast will continue to feature:
* Weekly sermons
* Worship experiences
* Special messages and teaching series
* Encouraging content from church leadership
Church members and online viewers are encouraged to subscribe to the Purpose Church Podcast to stay connected and receive the latest content updates.
