Ministry Opportunities

The Laurel Church of Christ is a congregation of 400 that began more than a century ago to provide a Christian community near the University of Tennessee. Today, Laurel members come from all walks of life. We are shepherded by eight elders, with staff members for youth, college, involvement, afterschool, and children’s ministries. Our commitment to missions extends from urban outreach to global evangelism.

Preaching Minister

Laurel’s Preaching Minister, Mark Smith, is retiring in the summer of 2025, after 18 years of faithful service to our church. Laurel’s Transition Team is now seeking and reviewing applications for the role of preaching minister.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. James 3:17
