Faith Promise Based Ministries


SWAT - Servants With A Task

Providing men an opportunity use their time, talents, and compassion to bring those in need into an encounter with the Kingdom of Christ by fixing their homes. This ministry exists to serve God by assisting people who are disabled, widowed, single parents, deployed military spouses, and our esteemed elders, with home repair services. We offer help with minor electrical, carpentry, plumbing, mechanical problems, and landscaping, as well as moving assistance, when needed. Join our experienced and inexperienced team of servants or let us know of opportunities! Click here for more information or Email fpcMEN@gmail.com.

Kids Hope USA

One child, one hour is the heart of KIDS HOPE USA. One caring adult mentoring an at-risk child one hour every week. Because when kids feel loved and valued, they are better able to learn, grow, and succeed. Faith Promise has adopted Beaumont Elementary School in the Western Heights area of Knoxville. The opportunity is vast. The need is great. The idea is simple. One Child, One Hour, One Church, One School. You could be the one. For more information, contact Susan T. at susant@faithpromise.org.
