A collaborative effort with Christian churches to reach
Cocke County with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Empower Cocke County desires to see positive life change by helping individuals cease destructive behavior through following the teachings of Jesus Christ. We intend to do this by calling bodies of Christ together, to join us by working side by side in one accord, to accomplish what no church can do alone.

Family Home/Village
Empower purchased 7 acres and a home as a second location under the Empower Cocke County 501c3. Initially Empower planned to create a men's recovery facility but like many plans do over time and based on community input, this plan has morphed into a home for families.

Bible Studies/Classes/Other Ministies
We always have various classes, Bible Studies, etc. ongoing. We can find something for your interests or for what you need to attend. We also have workplace development training and job skill training. We are also looking for additional trainers/teachers who like to pass on their skills.
There is a place for you. God has given you talents and spiritual gifts that can be used at Empower Cocke County. We have spaces for full time, part time, a few hours a day, week or month. We appreciate any time you can give.
“for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in;” - Matthew 25:35
