Our financial integrity is above reproach. The money received does not pad the pockets of anyone but goes to further our mission in Downtown Knoxville of creating places for our friends to experience Jesus.
Where does Knoxville Life get its money?
Our support comes from people who tithe (giving back to God 10% of earnings) and from the free-willed offerings of attendees and supporters. It is normal for anyone that calls Knoxville Life "home" to support the church financially. We do not have a few individuals funding everything.
Do you have high accounting standards?
Yes. We have a team that includes a member of the Board of Directors, a staff member and faithful volunteers to oversee all financial systems. You can request a copy of our Annual Financial Review and you will find money is managed with integrity at Knoxlife.
Why does Knoxville Life give things away?
We are a church. We invest in people. We are not simply a business trying to increase its bottom line. We give away bibles, coffee, curriculum, books, CDs, food, and other gifts including major donations because we follow the example of a generous God.
What happens to left over money?
Every year the staff takes an around-the-world tour with their families and closest friends. Once that is taken care of, the rest is bet playing roulette in Vegas in hopes of hitting it big and funding the newest building campaign. Seriously, there is not a lot of leftover money. But what is leftover goes toward ministry expenses for the following year.
