Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where did the name Pathways come from?
The name 'Pathways' refers to the location of the church. We are located in East Tennessee at the foot of the beautiful smoky mountains. It is not in reference to a statement of faith.
Q: What should I expect?
At Pathways Church you will encounter authentic worship, a life-changing message and real people attempting to live out a real faith. The environment is friendly, casual and inviting!
Q: What time should I be there?
You should give yourself plenty of time to get the kids to Noah's Ark, Critter Land or Big City, get some freshly brewed coffee and pastries, and find a good seat. For this reason, we recommend that you arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the service you wish to attend.
Q: How do I get there?
Pathways Church is located off of Dolly Parton Parkway, across from Sevier County High School. From Dolly Parton Parkway, turn towards the Airport on Industrial Park Dr. Make a right at the first intersection (Wagner Dr). The Church will be on the hill to your left, just past the large brown warehouse.

Q: What should I wear?
Well, what are you wearing? Jeans and a t-shirt are acceptable options for our laid-back environment. At Pathways we are more concerned about your presence with us, then what you are wearing.
Q: What should I do with the kids?
We love your kids and, like you, we want them to have the best worship experience possible. We believe this experience is with our Big City Ministry. There they will have the opportunity to worship and learn God's Word in a way they can relate to and understand. This also frees you up to worship without any distractions. If you decide to bring small children to worship, we respectfully ask that you use our the lobby to seating area to view the service, if they become noisy.
