Assessment

Christ Fellowship Knoxville is a 2024 Acts 29 plant led by Brandon Kennedy, who served at Shoreline Church in Knoxville for twelve years before being commissioned to plant. Kennedy started with a core-team Bible study on April 7, 2024. Acts 29 affiliation ensures Reformed theology and complementarian leadership. Branding language emphasizes 'practicing the ways of Jesus' — warrants a cultural-alignment yellow pending verification, but structurally sound and green overall.
