New Sermon Series begins on Sunday, May 10
Pastor Terry begins his new sermon series Liberty for All! this Sunday. Join us as we study Paul's letter to the Galatians -- often called the "Magna Carta of Christian Liberty -- this summer.
Galatians' key themes include justification by faith, freedom from legalism, the sufficiency of grace, life in the Spirit rather than the flesh, and unity in Christ.

Scholarship Winners to be recognized on May 17
The students receiving a gift from the Mable Reynolds Scholarship will be recognized during worship on Sunday, May 17. Before Sunday, the scholarship winners will be recognized during the PFHS Awards Day on Thursday, May 14. Graduation is Thursday, May 21.
The Mable Reynolds Scholarship, an award for graduating seniors at Pigeon Forge High School and former PFHS graduates, is given each year to students who plan to attend full- or part-time undergraduate studies or seminary. Scholarship applicants are asked to list the extracurricular activities they have participated in at school and at church over the years, and to provide a Faith Journey Statement. The statement speaks to their faith life inside and outside the church, how their faith has impacted their lives, and their career decisions. We also require recommendations from a pastor or youth leader and one other person.
Over $75,000 in scholarship funds have been given to 40+ students since 2017. The scholarship is an open-ended gift designed to carry on the many good deeds and years of service by Mable Reynolds (mother of the late Richard Williams) during her lifetime and is funded solely by the family.
