Christ for the people of Jonesborough

A new church starting in August 2025

Why a New Church?

Doesn’t it seem like there are churches on every corner? It certainly can seem that way. But, in fact, the number of churches in North America in the last 25 years has decreased at an unprecedented rate even as population has increased. Church plants are the best way to counteract that trend. As Jonesborough continues to grow, it is important that we recognize that Jonesborough needs more churches, not less.

Additionally, our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America, does not have a church based in the heart of Jonesborough. We look forward to bringing Christ and the Reformed faith to this historic downtown area.

OUR VISION

To build a new Gospel-centered community in the heart of Jonesborough.

OUR MISSION

To warmly proclaim the life-changing message of Christ to the people of Jonesborough through our worship, community, and service

About

In 2020, Bobby graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte and was called as Assistant Pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Johnson City. Prior to this call, Bobby and Annie served in the core team of two different church plants and have continued to love the vision of church planting as the means by which Christ builds His Church. Bobby and Annie are thankful to the be the parents of two little girls.
