Vision & Purpose

A vision of a place where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement.

A vision of a place where we break down the doors of “traditional” church as we know it, and create a place of utmost relevance to a lost & dying world. A people who are in the good news sharing business to Sevier County & beyond.

A vision to see Pathways equipping every believer for a significant ministry by helping them discover the gifts and talents that God has given them.

A vision of missions, both short term, and sending those who will be called into full time ministry.

A vision to see Pathways be instrumental in helping plant a church in a place where God leads

A vision of a visible piece of land, on which can be built a beautiful, yet simple worship facility. A place that will be designed to minister to the total person of all ages – spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

We stand, believing this to be inspired by God, and knowing that these dreams can become a reality. It is ours for the taking.

OUR PURPOSE STATEMENT — Why We Exist
