The purpose of the Statement of Faith is to outline the fundamental doctrines we believe as a church. We have titled these “our essentials.” Meaning these are essential theological affirmations that each partner of Local Church Knoxville, agrees to believe, teach, and be unified around. As a body, we will be unified on the essential beliefs and will give grace and have unity in the non-essentials.
