Maryville Baptist Tabernacle

"Can any good thing come out of church today? If you're in the Maryville area, come see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. God's spirit abounds in people invested and willing to welcome and introduce you to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. You can see the joy and blessing of lives given over to His service. Pastor Rick Smelcer leads and guides his flock in ways directed by the King James Bible and God's call to preach on his life. Look no further. A good place to increase your life with like minded folk and get to work for Jesus!"

"Pastor Rick Smelcer always has a good word to say. Both the singing and the preaching are infused with the spirit of God. I have attended on many occasions and have loved every minute!"

"What a wonderful Bible believing, preaching God’s word Baptist Church! Pastor Rick Smelcer & members are so very welcoming & loving. If you are in the Maryville area & are looking for a wonderful place to worship please stop by."

"I visited here from Knoxville on 8-16 for a fellowship meeting and it was FANTASTIC!!! The host church was beautiful. There was probably 8 or 9 different churches represented and everyone was very friendly. The guest preacher was wonderful and the preacher that was called from the congregation delivered a great message as well. Overall I would recommend Maryville baptist tabernacle and the Greater Knoxville Independent Baptist Fellowship to anyone who loves The Lord Jesus Christ."

"Maryville Baptist Tabernacle is a wonderful God fearing, Bible preaching, old-fashioned church. I spent 20+ years there and wouldn't have left if God had not called me to pastor another wonderful church. If you are in the Maryville area and are looking for a great church to be a foundational stronghold in the very uncertain times we live, visit MBT. It is a place to raise a family and be part of a family!"
