FOOD + FAMILY + FUTURES
Rooted in Matthew 25:35–40, our outreach is about living the Gospel beyond the walls of the church daily. We share God’s provision through Food Outreach, create belonging through Family ministry, and invest in the next generation through Futures Ministry. You don’t have to wait for Serve Saturday—every week is an opportunity to love our city, serve our neighbors, and bring the hope of Jesus to Knoxville. When we serve “the least of these,” we serve Him.
APARTMENT OUTREACH
Apartment Outreach is all about being the hands and feet of Jesus in the communities where we are planted. We intentionally connect with children and families, love our neighbors, and serve our community so that the Gospel is not only heard but seen in action. (Matthew 5:14)
CORRECTIONAL MINISTRY
We bring the hope of Christ to those incarcerated, restoring identity, purpose, and freedom through Christ’s transforming power. Our teams serve behind the walls on Monday evenings and Sunday mornings, and mentor newly released men to help them walk in lasting freedom. (Psalm 146:9; Luke 4:18; Hebrews 13:3)
FOOD PANTRY
Jesus speaks frequently and powerfully about feeding the hungry and caring for the poor. He used food not only to meet physical needs but as a tool for ministry, connection, and revealing God’s heart. (Matthew 25:35-40, Mark 6:34-44, and Luke 14:12-14). Our teams serve through food pantries and other food service/packing projects.
Papermill Food Pantry: Tuesdays-5:30PM-7:00PM, Thursdays-9:00AM-11:00AM
HISPANIC MINISTRY
Our ministry to people of Hispanic origin exists as an expression of Hebrews 13:2 which reminds us: Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Through City Hills en Español, we aim to create a welcoming environment for the Hispanic community to know God, find freedom, discover purpose and make a difference!
SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP
At City Hills, we believe every child is created in the image of God and deserves the opportunity to flourish (Genesis 1:27). Our school partnerships are a tangible way we live out Jesus’ command to love our neighbor (Mark 12:31) by supporting students, families, and educators right where they are.
UNPLANNED PREGNANCY
We come alongside moms facing unplanned pregnancies, helping them experience the love of God, discover true freedom, and thrive in their journey of motherhood. Our outreach teams provide weekly classes, a caring ally to encourage each mom, and a baby shower to celebrate and prepare for the precious new life God has entrusted to them. LEARN MORE

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
(Matthew 25:35-36)
