Charlotte and her husband, Robert, reside in Knoxville, Tennessee.   Robert  and    Charlotte have a ministry called Bringing to Light. Charlotte    ministered  on radio for 22 years.  After being heard on short-wave    Christian  radio, the response to the program came from nations all   over  the world.   Charlotte has a television program that airs two   times a  week on CTN  East Tennessee.  Even though Charlotte has this   widespread  ministry, she  is quick to say that her greatest ministry  is  being wife,  mother, and  grandmother.

Every Bringing to Light program begins with Charlotte’s words, “Today     is your day for victory in Jesus” and closes with, “I love you.  I love  you all.”  Thousands of people are blessed daily by these words    that  come from her heart.  Compassion has truly been a tool that  Jesus   has  used in Charlotte’s life to deliver hurting people.  In all  of  her   ministry outreach, it is easy to see that her greatest desire  is  to   reach the world for Jesus.

In  September of 1975 Freedom Ministries was established by Youth  Evangelist Mike Sage who had just turned 22 years old. Three years  later, on September 3, 1978 The Freedom Tabernacle Baptist Church was  founded. Since then these two works have been one and Brother Mike  remains the Pastor of the Church and the Director of Freedom Tabernacle  Ministries today.

Our Story

Pastor Tim & Gale Parton were both born into families with a deep  rooted musical heritage. Sevierville, Parton Music, well you get the  picture. Tim & Gale`s love for gospel music would bring them  together and their love for God and each other would unite them in  marriage.

Blessed with God given talents to play instruments, sing, and write  songs, God has used them all over the United States and Canada to spread  the gospel message. Tim has also been the host of many TV Shows and  Radio Programs. Now pastoring a church was something Tim thought that  God would one day call him into, but it always seemed to be out in the  future. In early 2014 while on one of their ministry road trips, Tim  & Gale began sharing their hearts with each other concerning their  ministry and what God was placing in their hearts. Feeling a strong  desire to be in God`s will, they both knew it was time to come off the  road and to plant a new church. With no ready building, congregation,  money or anything else they thought would be needed to begin a church,  they simply placed their faith in God and His call and trusted Him to  guide them one step at a time. “Abundant Life Worship Center” was the  name God placed on their heart to call the new church.

Abundant: God is more than enough

Life: God`s Breath

Worship: God Inhabits our Praise

Center: God First

Next God gave the church motto:

Livin It

Believin It

Receivin It

God`s Abundant Life

God soon supplied the building: The Sevierville Civic Center and on  August 3, 2014, Abundant Life Worship Center held their first Worship  Service with 42 people in attendance. Our God is faithful. We are  excited about the vision God has given us and the direction that God is  leading the church in. We invite you to come visit, share in a great  experience and be Blessed.

Founders   of Dove Song Ministries, Buddy and Veronica McGlothlin demonstrate a   unique flow in the gifts of the Spirit in their travels across the US   and abroad. As they share the life-changing Word and pray for those in   attendance at their meetings, healing and deliverance begin to  manifest.  Visitors are healed of cancer and other documented diseases.  Disturbed  souls who participate in cutting and other destructive  behaviors find  freedom. New songs burst forth, drawing men and women  deeper into the  holy presence of God. But most importantly to Buddy and  Veronica,  everyone is without question stirred to renew hope and  encouraged,  “Don’t ever give up!”

God has given him a clear vision of Black, White, Hispanic and Asians worshiping together. It is a vision of the rich, poor, morally good and morally struggling, hand in hand in pursuit of a closer relationship with Christ Jesus. His vision is of a church open to all people regardless of background, ethnicity, socio-economic status or class. Currently The House of Worship has a diverse congregation along with a diverse spiritual leadership team. By God’s grace, the result of his obedience and spiritual tenacity has been a long list of miracles and changed lives.
