Plan Your Visit

We're at 1115 Indian Ridge Rd, Blaine, TN 37709 — just a few miles from the Blaine Town Hall and Post Office. Our location is only minutes from the Holston River, House Mountain, and the southern terminus of Clinch Mountain, and just a short drive from both Knoxville and Jefferson City.

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the service starts. That gives you time to park, get the kids checked in to their classrooms, and get settled in the sanctuary before the music starts.

From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you're likely to feel at home. Our greeters are ready to welcome you, answer any questions you have, and help you find where you need to go — whether that's the nursery, a kids' classroom, or a seat in the sanctuary. The church family will welcome you warmly as we prepare to worship and hear from God's Word together.

Sunday Morning Worship — 8:45 AM & 11:00 AM
Our main services of the week. We sing uplifting worship music — both classic hymns and newer songs — before hearing a message from God's Word explained and applied by Pastor Nick Wright.

Sunday School — 10:00 AM
Small life-stage groups designed so you can connect and grow as a disciple of Christ with others on the same journey. There's a class for every age, and we hope you'll visit one this Sunday.

Wednesday Evening — 7:00 PM
After dropping off your children in nursery, kids' class, or teen group, join us in the sanctuary for worship, prayer, and small-group Bible study. Pastor Nick leads an in-depth expositional study, with additional breakout groups for discipleship, ladies' ministry, and topical discussions on things like parenting, finances, and Christian growth. We finish the night with fellowship and encouragement.

You'll find first-class programs for children from birth through 5th grade. Infants and toddlers (ages 0–3) are cared for in a clean, safe, and loving nursery environment — our greeters will walk you right to it when you arrive. Children ages 4 through 5th grade have Sunday School classes of their own, plus dedicated Children's Church during the morning service (ages 4 through 2nd grade are dismissed with their teachers just before the sermon begins so they can learn at their own level).

Richland Students (6th–12th grade) is an active, Bible-grounded ministry with something going on year-round — Sunday classes, summer camp, trips, outreach events, and activities that teens actually look forward to. We do everything within our power to provide the biblical wisdom teenagers need in an atmosphere they genuinely enjoy.

No. We know that can be uncomfortable, and we don't do it. You're welcome to attend completely without pressure. Our desire is to make you feel at home — not put you on the spot.

We are a Southern Baptist church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). We hold to the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 as our statement of faith — you can read our full beliefs on the About Us page. We are Bible-centered, gospel-focused, and genuinely glad to be a small country church in the mountains of East Tennessee.

The best way is to simply join us on Sunday and experience it firsthand. But if you'd like to reach out ahead of time, you can send us a message through our Connect page or call us at (865) 225-6621. We'd love to hear from you and help answer any questions before your visit.
