What to Expect
Our Missions
Missions has been a cornerstone of Community Church since our founding. We are incredibly blessed to live in a resource rich community while surrounded by great need. We are proud more than 10% of our yearly budget goes to missions work and much of it stays local! Below you'll find a listing of all our current ministry partners.
Beauty for Ashes Ministries Inc.
Beauty for Ashes Freedom House is a safe haven for women who battle addictions. We provide a very structured home environment. Here they can develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and be transformed into Women of Strength, Hope, and Integrity.

Good Samaritan Center
(Lenoir City)
is a ministry serving the emergency needs of those in Loudon County through their food pantry, vouchers for dental care, and utility assistance. We take up an offering each year in the fall to fund their Thanksgiving baskets which are offered for free to families during the holidays.
Loudon County Habitat for Humanity
is a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry that works to eliminate poverty housing in Loudon County. We encourage members to volunteer at the ReStore and keep an eye out for opportunities to help build homes which will be shared in our e-news and monthly newsletter. We also take up a special offering on Christmas Eve for Habitat.
Iva’s Place
is a domestic violence shelter. They offer a safe haven for victims needing to leave an abusive situation immediately, transitional housing for intermediate accommodations while victims rebuild their lives independently, and long-term housing options which promote full independence and self-sufficiency.
Kairos Prison Ministry
this ministry shares the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of incarcerated men, women and youth to become loving and productive citizens of their communities. Men from our church make visits to our local prison and volunteers bake cookies for them to take. Watch for volunteer information in our newsletter and announcements in worship for how to get involved.
Straightway Ministry Inc.
Our vision is that men who have had drug and/or alcohol addictions and want to change their lives to follow Jesus Christ have every opportunity to do so.
We provide an affordable Christian Transition House for men who have been drug and/or alcohol addicted. Our mission is to help get them back on their feet by providing them with housing, job placement and transportation. In our program, men pay their own way, attend church, group meetings, and one-on-one counseling sessions. Their progress is monitored as we teach them to depend on our Lord Jesus so they can sustain a productive life without drugs and alcohol.
Scholarship Program
Our church has a history of supporting our local communities in many ways. The Scholarship Program began in 1992 and 136 students have received these awards totaling a commitment of over a half a million dollars. Currently we give scholarships to graduating seniors from four local high schools: Loudon, Lenoir City, Sequoyah and Greenback. Students are selected by members of our CCTV Mission Team through an application and interview process held every spring. Each student receives $2,750/yr - $11,000 total. These funds are sent directly to their college or university.
Along with the scholarship budget of the church, several church families have established memorials and/or trusts to support and aid some of these students. The church crafter’s group has also continued to support a student every year. If you would like more information about how to establish a memorial, please ask the church office or email the CCTV Mission Team.
