This Week's SermonSTFK Movie Night (March 26)Our church makes an event out of watching movies together, partly for outreach and partly just for fun. Because of the pandemic, we bought a license for the year 2020 so we can watch movies at our church building instead of going out to a theater. Everyone is invited to join in on the selected Friday night each month at 8:00 P.M. for this event. Snacks and drinks provided. The church building is located at 241 Neals Landing Road, Suite 201, Knoxville, TN 37924. ![]() Our license allows us to show classic movies and also brand-new movies. There is one catch, though. We can't advertise the name of the movie that we have selected. However, we can offer a clue about our move selection. Here it is: "Does life Get you down?" STFK 10-Year AnniversarySpirit and Truth Fellowship of Knoxville (STFK) was incorporated in Tennessee on August 31, 2010. The first church service was held on Sunday, Febrary 13, 2011.

About Our ChurchSpirit and Truth Fellowship of Knoxville (STFK) is a local and independent Evangelical Christian Church. We are not related to Scientology, Christian Science, or the organization called Spirit and Truth Fellowship International. You can read our statement of faith here. We are worshipers of God, followers of Jesus Christ, and supporters of science and science education. We see no conlict between believing in the Creator and understanding the creation. As a church, we take no official position on Genesis chapters 1-11 in the Bible, so controversial matters such as the age of the Earth are avoided. Newcomers can basically believe what they want about Genesis 1-11 without being criticized for it. People usually think of a skeptic as someone who finds it difficult to believe in God. We are not a church comprised of skeptics. We are a church who ministers to skeptics in an atmosphere of mutual respect where skeptics can explore the concept of believing in God. In the South, many Christians have this concept that the study science is somehow a threat to their faith. We also exist to help those Christians learn that faith in God and the study of science are not mutually exclusive. You might find it helpful to watch our video describing the church vision, located here. Verse of the Day |

STFK Science Café (April 20)Every child who grew up in East Tennessee has at one time or another found the discarded exoskeletons of creatures that fired the imagination about alien life from distant planets. That's because every seventeen years, this area is ground zero for what some might call a "plague of biblical proportions!" It is the emergence of the 17-year cicadas. At this month's STFK Science Cafe, we will prepare for this extraordinary event by discussing the species and learn what to expect starting shortly after the date of our meeting. We are pleased to welcome back a returning speaker, Stephen Lyn Bales. This meeting will be held in the Visitor's Center building at Ijams Nature Center on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 from 5:30 to 7:00 P.M.
