To “meet the needs of people” means that we put emphasis on our outreach work. The following pages give you a good glimpse of what we do.
The Clothing Ministry works beside the Highways & By-Ways Ministry to provide clothing for those who cannot afford it. View the current
list of needed items to find out if your donation fits the needs of those receiving help.
The Food Pantry is open Monday-Friday from 1pm-2pm except on holidays. Any Powell resident is eligible to receive food once per month. There is no fee for this service.
In 1984, Preacher Bob arrived in Knoxville with only two changes of clothes and $25. Preacher Tom Coulter helpd Bob get on his feet and Bob met his wife, Mary. In 1987 Highways and By-Ways Ministry was formed. It was formed to help street souls one-on-one under bridges, railroad tracks, local grave yards, and homeless camps in the Knoxville area.
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:17-18

Servant Evangelism is a practical way to reach out to others through simple kindness. In the past, we have given out free chips at the grocery store on Super Bowl Sunday and free stamps at the post office on Tax Day.
This is one way we can reach out to the community to let them know the best things in life are free....just like God's love for them!
