Emmaus Abbey Church

About this church

Emmaus Abbey Church, part of the American Orthodox Catholic Church, now meets at its own chapel at 7317 Glastonbury Road in Knoxville rather than the older Woodland Avenue address. Sunday worship begins at 10:20 a.m., with coffee and doughnuts available in the lobby beforehand. The congregation combines conservative evangelical biblical teaching with an Orthodox Catholic liturgical and sacramental identity, a distinctive blend among Knoxville churches.

Its beliefs describe worship as participation in God’s kingdom through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and affirm the priesthood of all believers alongside ordained ministry. Weekly counseling and inner-healing outreach give the church a pastoral focus, and a healing ministry meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Children’s information is available for families. Because the congregation has moved, first-time visitors should use the official current address and not rely on older map or directory records.
