Farragut Christian Church started in 1963, when members of Forest Avenue Christian Church & Johnson University decided to plant a church in Farragut.  The church began in a house on Admiral Road.  The first service in our current location was in May of 1964.  

Since that day, the church has become known for its focus on missions around the world, sending members to become missionaries.  Our first minister, Cyril Simkins, left to do work in Africa.  Several members have been forwarding agents, have served on boards for other missionaries, and members are currently serving in the Middle East.  Many short-term mission trips have departed from this church to work in areas such as Haiti, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Guatemala, Jordan, Israel, & Ethiopia.

Our focus hasn't only been overseas.  In 2003, members launched an outreach called Prom of the Stars, a dance for teenagers and adults with physical and mental disabilities.  It has grown into an annual event with 1,200 guests attending the evening.  Members serving in our C.A.R.E. Food Pantry, Senior Meals ministry, working in Knoxville as well as Indian Reservations, continue to take seriously the idea of preaching the gospel and serving those in need.
