CECOne big family. One shared faith.
CEC is a diverse community of believers building relationships through love, hope, faith, authentic fellowship, and heartfelt service.
One body. Many gifts. Moving inward to grow and outward to serve.
Faith that grows inward. Love that moves outward.
The cross in our logo reflects the stained-glass window at CEC. Its shapes point inward as we disciple believers and outward as we witness, serve, and meet needs throughout our community.
A long journey of faith, service, and community.
From CEC's first service to the ministries that continue serving Knoxville, our story reflects God's faithfulness through every hardship, victory, and new beginning.
