Your 3-Step Plan for Getting Connected at FBC-Pigeon Forge

Taking the first step toward visiting a church can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be.

Whether you’re new to the area, visiting Pigeon Forge, or simply looking for a church home, we want you to feel at ease from the very beginning.

At First Baptist Church Pigeon Forge, we’ve made it simple to get started. This 3-step plan will help you move from your first visit to finding real connection and purpose.

It starts with planning your visit—then taking a few simple steps to grow, build relationships, and make a difference:

Attend Worship. Join a Group. Serve in Missions.

We’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

Weekly Discipleship Guides are now live!

Each week, we can transform Pastor Terry's sermons into practical resources designed to help you continue growing throughout the week. Using sermon transcripts from our YouTube channel, we create:
  • Sermon recap emails
  • In-depth blog articles
  • Small group discussion questions
  • Personal devotional guides
  • Social media content and encouragement

When a new sermon resource is available, we'll send you a weekly Discipleship Guide featuring a summary of the message, discussion questions, and a personal devotion to help you apply God's Word in your daily life.

Throughout the week, you'll also find encouraging content, thought-provoking questions, and opportunities for conversation on our Facebook, Instagram, and X pages.

Our goal is simple: to help you stay connected to God's Word and to your church family beyond Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Whether through personal study, small group discussions, blog conversations, or social media interactions, we want to encourage spiritual growth all week long.

Faith in the Smokies: Finding God in Every Season

The Smoky Mountains draw millions of visitors each year seeking rest, adventure, and time with family and friends. Here in Pigeon Forge, we're surrounded daily by reminders of God's beautiful creation.

But while vacations and mountain getaways can refresh us physically, they also provide an opportunity to renew our hearts and refocus our faith.

That's the inspiration behind our new blog series, Faith in the Smokies.

In these posts (to be published between June 18 and July 2), we'll explore how God's presence is not limited to a church building or a regular routine. Whether you're a local resident, a frequent visitor, or enjoying a vacation in the Smokies, God invites you to draw near to Him wherever you are.

In this series, we'll discuss topics such as:
  • Why faith shouldn't take a vacation when we do
  • The unique role of a church in the heart of a tourist community
  • How rest, renewal, and worship work together to strengthen our relationship with Christ

The Bible reminds us that God reveals Himself through His creation:
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." (Psalm 19:1)

The beauty of the mountains can inspire awe, but our greatest joy comes from knowing the One who created them.

Jesus also offers a deeper kind of rest than any vacation can provide:
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

As we journey through this series together, our prayer is that you'll be encouraged to see God's hand at work in every season of life and to discover fresh opportunities to worship, grow, and serve wherever He has placed you.

Whether you're here for a lifetime or just passing through, we invite you to join us as we explore what it means to live out our faith in the Smokies.

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." (James 4:8)
