Serve

PATH
Path is our community food ministry serving both the 37865 and 37920 zip codes. Staffed on Thursdays, from 2:00pm – 4:00pm, by VGBC volunteers, PATH offers non-perishable food items to our local community as well as open hearts and grace-filled ears to listen to the clients who come to our door.

CROSS

CROSS Food Ministry is a local food bank & assistance ministry, serving the tri-county Seymour community. CROSS is operated by faithful volunteers, supported by local individuals, churches, and businesses, and seeks to make a true Kingdom impact in Seymour.

Pregnancy Resource Center of Blount and Sevier Counties

Because every life matters, the Pregnancy Resource Center of Blount and Sevier Counties ministers to the needs of those facing difficult pregnancy decisions with life-affirming alternatives.

One of the ways that we support the PRC is through our Baby Bottle Campaign. Between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, pick up a baby bottle from the Family Life Center, fill it with coins, dollar bills, or check, and return. Use this as a time to pray for the work of the PRC in our community.

KNOX COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF BAPTISTS

As a network of Baptist churches living out God’s mission in this world, the Knox County Association of Baptists are intentional about assisting churches to engage cultural shifts with the whole Gospel. This means assisting churches to live as missionaries in a culture that is rapidly changing. For more information, click here.

Valley Grove is working to build a national partnership with churches and church planters across the United States. During March and April, we receive a special offering that is forwarded to the North American Mission Board (NAMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention which uses the money in various mission endeavors across the United States. In September, we receive an offering that is forwarded to the Tennessee Baptist Convention for ministries within our state.

Since October of 2021, Valley Grove has been serving in the Greater Denver area. We currently sponsor a brand new church, The Local Church, in Arvada, CO, just northwest of Denver.

The next opportunity to GO: October 24-28: A long weekend trip to Denver is planned for later in the fall and will again focus on The Local Church in Arvada as well as ministry with refugees and the houseless population in East Denver. Email Pastor Eddie for more information eddie@valleygrove.org

More opportunities to travel to Denver in 2025 will be announced in January.

National boundaries are only dots on the map, and as we go, we must be willing to go to the “hard” places for the sake of the Gospel. With partnerships in South Asia and the Middle East,, Valley Grove is committed to sending individuals and families for short, medium, and long term missions. Email Eddie Christenberry for more information. In addition, every December, we receive a designated offering that is forwarded to the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention that is used for missions around the world.

Will you commit to pray about your willingness to GO?

Future opportunities to go include: February – Middle East (Dates TBA) and South Asia (March 13-22).
