who we are

Cedar Street Church is a local church in Sevierville committed to helping people grow closer—to God, to each other, and to the world around them.
We believe church is more than a place you attend—it’s a people you belong to. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just beginning to explore faith, there’s a place for you here to take your next step closer.

Helping people grow closer to God, closer to each other, and closer to our community.
Everything we do flows from that mission.
We want to help people:
Grow closer to God through worship and Scripture
Grow closer to each other through authentic relationships
Grow closer to our community by serving and loving others
Our prayer is simple: that every person who walks through our doors would leave closer to Jesus than when they came.

Closer to God
We believe real life, hope, and transformation are found in Jesus. Everything we do is about helping people take steps closer to Him.
Closer to Each Other
We were not meant to do life alone. We value real, authentic community where people are known, supported, and drawn closer together.
Closer Through Serving
Following Jesus leads us toward others. As we serve, we grow closer not only to those around us, but to the heart of Christ.
Closer Every Day
Faith is a journey. No matter where you’re starting, there is always a next step to take—always a way to grow closer.

When you come to Cedar Street Church, you can expect a welcoming environment where you can come as you are and take a step closer.
Our gatherings include meaningful worship, practical, Bible-based teaching, and opportunities to connect with others. Throughout the week, we offer spaces for students, adults, and families to continue growing closer in their faith and relationships.

Cedar Street Church is part of the United Methodist Church, a connection that has shaped our history and ministry. Today, our focus is on helping people grow closer to Jesus and live out their faith in our community.

No matter your background or where you are in your faith journey, there is a place for you here.
You don’t have to have everything figured out—you just have to be willing to take a step closer.

Our 10:45 AM Contemporary Service is held in the Great Hall and offers a meaningful, engaging worship experience. Join Pastor Daniel Hampton as we dive into God’s Word together through Christ-centered, biblically grounded teaching. This service features a talented praise band and gifted vocalists who lead us in dynamic, Spirit-filled worship. Whether you’re new to church or looking for a place to grow in faith, you are welcome here.

Our Traditional Services meet in the Sanctuary at 8:30 AM and 10:45 AM. Join us as we worship the Lord through beloved hymns and faithful preaching from Pastor Jeff Wright. On the first Sunday of each month, we gather at the Lord’s Table to celebrate Holy Communion, and all are welcome to participate.

Join us every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM for Sunday School classes for all ages. From children to adults, our classes provide a welcoming environment to grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and explore God’s Word together. There’s a place for everyone to learn and belong.

We have a Sunday School class for everyone. Our classes are full of fellowship, Biblical studies and group discussion.

Our Student Ministry is an active and welcoming community where students grow together in God’s Word and build lasting relationships. Students gather every Sunday evening and Wednesday evening for meaningful worship, engaging teaching, and fellowship. Throughout the year, they participate in fun outings, and each summer they attend Souled Out and take part in a mission trip, giving them opportunities to serve, grow, and live out their faith.

Cedar Street Kids Ministry offers a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can grow together in God’s Word. We provide Sunday School classes for all children each week, and during the school year, our Wednesday Night program is filled with engaging Bible studies and Children’s Choirs designed to help kids learn about Jesus while building friendships and faith.

We are actively involved in various mission projects. We have Bible studies such as the United Methodist Women, Men's Group,, 55 and Rising, & Prayer Shawl Ministry. We also have places for people to get plugged in through missions, serving, choir, and much more. Join us each week as we worship, grow in our faith and seek to make a temporal and eternal difference in people’s lives.
