We are a small church community with approximately 60 families making their Church Home here. When you stop by for a visit and worship with us, you will quickly notice that our parish always has the welcome mat out. Our welcome is genuine and real. We happily open our circles of friends and families to all who are looking for a sense of "community" and "belonging".
 
Some of us have lived in Tennessee for a lifetime, while others have discovered the riches of God's Grace in East Tennessee from other parts of the world. In Sevierville, Tennessee, we blend our talents, our backgrounds and our faith into the wonderful parish known as St. Joseph the Carpenter.

Thank you for stopping by St. Joseph the Carpenter for a visit. We are excited about our new website and will be updating and adding featurtes as we adjust and learn our new system. St. Joseph is an exceptional parish in that we really open to newcomers and new ideas. Creativity is encouraged in every part of the parish. It is so wonderful to be Alive! Stop in for a visit and stay a lifetime!

We will have Morning Prayer at the 10:30 AM service on the first Sunday of each month through the summer season. Holy Communion will still be offered at the 8:00 AM service on those days.

The Morning Prayer Service was the traditional worship service in the Episcopal church during the time the 1928 Book of Common Prayer was in use. In 1979 the Prayer Book was revised to restore the ancient tradition of Holy Communion as the normative Sunday liturgy.

We hope you will join us for this beautiful service.
