Will and his family moved from London, England, to Tennessee in 2021, to be closer to Michelle's family. Will is English but Michelle is American, and after 17 years on Will's side of the Pond, this seemed fair! Emmanuel was launched in 2022, and is a non-denominational church which loves expository ministry and reformed theology.

Greater Knoxville has a population of over one million and is in America’s top ten fastest growing cities. Despite being in the Bible belt, it's experiencing an influx of unreached people from all over the nation and beyond. It represents a thrilling gospel opportunity. As a young church, we don’t yet have much history. But we do have a God with a track record of thousands of years of love and faithfulness. We’re excited about the future story he has planned for us. Come and be part of it!
