My wife, her cousin, her cousins husband, and I went this past Sunday. It was very inviting coming in. Lots of excitement. Nicely decorated. Special parking for visitors. Worship was amazing! Preaching was well thought out. A clear message that was easy to understand. Overall I thought is was great. Two things I think could have improved my experience. 1. Other than when they asked people to turn and greet people, I was not spoken to by anyone. 2. I didn't see anything directing me to the visitor parking until I had parked and was walking to the door. Maybe they have signs but I didn't see anything directing. I know this is nitpicking but I hate generic reviews and have worked with several churches to improve things like this. I am not from the area or I would say "I'll be back". If I do make it back to this area I will come back. They seem to have lots of outreaches to their community and probably easy for parishioners to invite their friends and neighbors. Great job, guys! read more

They are welcoming to everyone who has been there 412 kids group are kind to us I love it

This church is not for everyone. However,if you are tired of the "status quo,"the superficial,legalistic,lukewarm,come and dine,tickle your ear ,religious seven eleven sing along ,then maybe this might be for you. This is for you if you are looking for REAL authentic flawed people that get up everyday and choose to pick up the cross and Follow Him,you've found your home! We fall but get up. We work to be perfected but perfect isn't allowed! This is a safe place to hang out a " healing church", The pastors stand on what we believe in not what we don't ! I was reared in church so I'm a hard sell. Lots of church hurt when I walked through the door. Pastor Larry loved us in... His Legacy lives on ! The Pastoral Staff preaches Holiness and tells you just like it is.... You've tried the rest try the best... What do you have to lose... Come find me read more

My family was invited to go to this church by a close family friend.We decided to go and give it a shot!! We have been to so many churches and each one just did not feel right to us!!!! We fell in love with the church, the welcoming, inviting people, the awesome music, the pastor, and the youth groups!!! We loved it so much that we have been going for over a year! I can not say one bad thing. I just love this Church!! Mason and Dani( Youth Group Directors) are amazing with the kids!! Pathways Church goes beyond being a church!! Thank you Pathways for bringing God back to our family!!! Pastor Brent delivers the message to my heart each week!!! read more

I love the fact that everyone is so welcoming and glad to see you. From the parking crew to the staff, there's a intentional sense of joy about being at church. Pastor Brent brings the messages with knowledge, humor, and humility, and is always engaging. Having identical services on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, really makes it convenient to always find a time that works for us. If you're visiting, or looking for a new church home,this a great place to come. They provide a modern worship experience with great visuals and talented musicians. They love the Lord and it's contagious! read more

Pathways Church - Churches Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Awesome place! Everyone is welcome & there is a good feeling of community there!

We were vacationing in Gatlinburg but didn't want to miss Sunday service. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and we were very glad to have found this church. We intend to keep watching online, that is how much we enjoyed the service. read more

I'm giving Pathways a 2 based off one visit so this is just a first impression review. We went to the 6pm service and I was less than impressed. We had to drop off our son in the kids area but didn't know how to sign him in. No one was really there helping to direct us. We asked a guy with a clipboard and he helped us out and was very kind about it but we were just kind of lost for a few minutes. We went to the auditorium for the service and no one spoke to us during the 7 minutes before the service started. I didn't really get a warm, friendly church vibe. I know it's a large church with several services so it would be awkward to ask every new face if they're visiting for the first time, only to find out they'd been going for years, but we didn't get any kind of reaction until the youth pastor told us to stand up and high-five people around us. The music was ok. I'm not impressed by the nightclub lighting effects and fog machines but that's just personal taste. The electric guitar solo didn't seem needed but again, personal taste. I told my husband that if we keep going then I'm ok with being late to services. The sermon was about the preacher's trip to Breckenridge. I realize that the new series was inspired by this trip, but that's all it was about. We read one verse in Genesis and he told us a few of the things we'd get out of the whole series but that was it. We're going back next week so my views might change but I told my husband afterward that I literally felt nothing while I was there. read more

Pathways Church has been our church home for more than 6 years now. It is probably the very best organized thing in all of Sevier County. I attended the service that Susan Laura L. reviewed. It was not our typical church service, but I believe she left with the wrong message. I would love to invite her back to try again. Services can even be viewed on the church website for anyone who wants to enjoy them. Pathways does preach the word, unabashedly. While Pastor Brent may not open up a giant, gold leafed bible behind a podium (he uses an ipad instead), God's word is the focus of every service. Watch online and see for yourself. Pathways is a dynamic modern church with incredible music, all be it mostly modern Christian music, produced by a full band each week. Pathways hosts 5 identical services each week to serve our community - one on Wed, one on Saturday, and 3 on Sunday. I would invite anyone looking for a new church family with modern, relevant services, and active youth and adult programs to give Pathways a try. Everyone is welcome, but no perfect people are allowed. :) read more

I was very disappointed in this church. We didn't pray. We never opened God's word. I brought my Bible with me but strobe lighting, the Outer Banks and future events took precedence over God's word. I don't know if I was the only one who brought my Bible with me but I know that the word of God was never opened up, not even at the pulpit. The music never got out of first gear. The pastor's mother bragged on how great her pain threshold was for 15 minutes and how great God is for 15 seconds. She also bragged on how other people pray for her so she, a pastor in this church, didn't feel the need to share with the staff or congregation that she was having major surgery. She offended me. So much so that she informed the congregation that she chose not to share an upcoming surgery with her church family because she had others to pray for her. I went to worship God. Instead I was blinded by strobe lighting, told that my prayers weren't needed because her needs were covered, and left feeling cheated. read more

relocated here 7 years ago, and after visiting many churches in the area, i have finally decided that pathways will be our new church home..it has everything i've been looking for + a phenominal pastor, who teaches, instead of preaches, the music, and the friendliness is a plus...your attire can be casual, homey (jeans,tshirts) or dressy, whatever you're comfortable with, they are comfortable with. :)... read more
