2020 was a year that we will never forget. When I reflect on last year I am immediately blown away by God’s faithfulness in the work He has done through the people of Foothills Church. We saw the Lord moving and working in ways that we have never seen before.

We released a debut album from Foothills Collective, took major steps toward our Bearden location and renovation of the West building, held “online only” worship gatherings for 16 straight weeks, and celebrated as 73 people came to faith and got baptized. We saw our people love and serve our community in new and unique ways due to urgent needs arising from COVID-19. The people of FC donated 10,000 pounds of food to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, 275 people engaged in various community projects, and we gave $115,615 to ministry partners.

It is truly remarkable to pause and reflect on these moments and the countless stories that have forever changed lives and families in our community. As a church, we are grateful for how God is blessing the vision to Make It Count. In this report, you will see the fruit of that blessing.

As you read through this report, I pray that it would encourage and inspire you as we seek to develop mature disciples of Christ in relational environments. My hope is that 2021 will be a year marked by the faithfulness of the people of FC and God’s steadfast love, as we Make It Count here in Blount County, in Knoxville, and around the world.
