Richwoods was once located on Terra Vista drive, but has been at the N. Knoxville location for over…read morea year now. What can you expect at Richwoods? - Very casual atmosphere so no need to dress super fancy. You can even wear shorts in the summer! - Three services: 6 p.m. on Saturday (coffee shop style worship with popcorn and cookies being served), and 9/11:15 a.m. on Sunday (free donuts and coffee). - Very friendly for families with active ministries for kids, teens and college-aged students. There are even a few nursing rooms with a television inside of them so that you don't miss the sermon. - Contemporary and kind of rocky music. - A church that is "seeker friendly," but also good for Christians who have been walking in their faith a long time (although if you are the latter, definitely get plugged into a small group bible study for richer studies). My experience at Richwoods has been great. Staff is very friendly and sincere. Also had my wedding here, and it was a lovely, modern and minimalist venue. I cannot recall the exact price now, but I believe it was $300 (member)/$600 non-member to have your wedding here.

I never went here for worship, but they have a Frisbee Golf course and a playground/walking path…read morewith gazebos, and a little pebble beach area, that I went to all the time as a kid to hang out with friends. I went inside a couple times during the weekday and there were workers inside who let us use the water machines, which were very sophisticated and tasty refreshing cold water. Friendly people. One problem I had was with the "Jingle" Christmas production they had one year. My parents took me to see it and while it was entertaining, I prefer a more reverent style of Christmas worship. It was so loud and flashy my brother who was around 7 at the time started crying and had to be taken out into the hall.

Pastor Cara is an asset to the forward thinking needed to keep a church alive and viable in today's climate. She is approachable happy and positive. Her job cannot be easy with an aging congregation. But with her leadership I feel this church will survive. Sunday schools leader is Karen. If you have children don't hesitate it looks fun, engaging and loud! Happy I took time to revisit.

I've been to a lot of mega churches and I think this pastor is as good of a teaching pastor as I've found in the bigger churches. After decades of big churches, I missed having a family like atmosphere where you can really know people. The people are friendly and tend to hang around and talk rather than head for the door. I feel like this is a place to have a real "community church."
