Powell Church Outreach
We take our mission statement seriously at Powell Church.

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.

Clothing Ministry Clothing Ministry
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.

 

Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is open Monday-Friday from 9-10am except on holidays. Any Powell resident is eligible to receive food once per month. There is no fee for this service.

 

Highways and By-Ways Highways and By-Ways
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
