We are in the process of remodeling a small building for temporary usage as a church. This small chapel will be used until we can have the land developed and a permanent building built. Below, you will find the long term plans for the permanent building.

Church of the Risen Christ is 501c3 incorporated in the State of Tennessee. All donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Dear Friends and Followers,
We are embarking on a new project to build a new church remodel a building for temporary use and build a permanent church building to the glory of God. Your generous contributions will directly impact this project. We are seeking to raise $203,500. ($3,500 to remodel a temporary meeting place and $200,000 to build the permanent building and develop land for the prayer gardens). We believe that by working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those around us in this community. We will be the first and only Anglican-Catholic Church in this area. We provided a safe place for those who feel they are disenfranchised from mainstream church. We are a welcome home to all.
We kindly invite you to consider making a donation to Church of the Risen Christ to help us acieve our goals. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference and will be used to further our mission.

Thank you for your generosity and unwavering faith. Because of you, we are able to continue to serve our community and spread the Word of God. May God bless you for your kindness and compassion.
-Rev. Fr. Justin L. Gates, Rector

Building Project

We currently meet in our pastor’s home. While it is a nice homey touch, we are also growing. As a result, the space is not adequate to provide a comfortable and roomy place to worship, pray and study. As we grow, we will soon be forced to rent a shared space in a neighboring city where services can be held.  While this is not a situation we are ungrateful for (rather we are immensely grateful to God and our host), the time has come for us to look ahead and to build for the future.  With firm faith in God, we set forth on this journey to build a church for our growing church family and our community.  While this will be the first Anglican church in this area, it will not be a massive structure as one imagines when you hear the term Anglican.  We do not the money or ability to construct the great cathedrals of Notre Dame or St. Paul's; but we will work to build what we can for the service of God and Neighbor.  
The new church will be established on 4 acres of land where the present rectory and temporary chapel. Our current fundraising goal for the project is set at $203,500. This is divided into two phases. Phase 1 will enable us to remodel a building for a temporary chapel ($3,500) and Phase 2 will enable us to build a modest structure that will serve our church for many years to come ($200,000).  We seek to build a place of peace, prayer, and where all people can come to find Christ in his Holy Sacraments.  Here they will be inspired by the word spoken, the word broken, and the beauty of Holiness in the House of our Lord.   Any donations exceeding that of our building program will be distributed to the missions of our church, and their works of charity and conversion which they carry out for Love of God and Neighbor.  No amount of money that is dedicated to this project will be invested in personal advancement or benefit; it is all dedicated solely to the building up of the House of God and to his people.  
Our Rector and Deacon have pledged their own donations to help with this project of building the Church; and invite all who pass this way to prayerfully consider joining with us in this joyful project!
