Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries is a Christian ministry that functions as an independent non-profit ministry.   Its purpose is to reveal the presence of God to those who live, work, and play in the resort settings of Sevier County. Its roots are in the Sevier County Association of Baptists.

Resort ministry is communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people caught up in a leisure lifestyle. Our purpose is to express the love of God and the care of the churches to those people who visit in the resort settings and to those people, both seasonal and permanent, who work in the resort industries of Sevier County.

It’s been a great winter, but the snow is gone and spring is coming. It’s always sad saying goodbye to our J1 friends. We continue to pray for the seeds that have been planted and will stay in touch via social media. Please join us in prayer for safety as they travel home.
