This familiar passage reflects the willing spirit and sense of God’s direction by the founder of the Christian Resource Center. Looking to “semi-retire,” God placed a real burden in the heart of Thomas H. Moffit, Jr., owner of Joy 620 WRJZ, to establish the Christian Resource Center. Mr. Moffit has a burden to obey the call and vision God has given him to establish what some say could be a “model” for other towns and cities across America.
The Christian Resource Center (CRC) is a central location for pastors and their churches in the Knoxville area to turn to for information and resource materials. From the beginning, the primary goal has been to aid in spiritual growth and the furtherance of personal and church ministries. The CRC will be involved in educational opportunities through Bible studies, seminars, workshops, and conferences. Faith-based guidance on personal issues, including finances, addictions and other relevant matters are an important part of the services the CRC while pursuing partnerships with local churches and ministries.
As an information center, the CRC is currently in the process of building confidential data bases compiling information on local and regional churches and ministries in the area. These databases will continue to be an ongoing project with updates and revisions as needed. As data is compiled, churches and individuals can be networked to those materials, resources, and ministries where needs can be met or assistance given. As inquiries are made, information not already available may be pursued if the information is viewed as part of the Center’s core mission.
There are opportunities for pastors to get together on an ongoing and regular basis. The CRC sponsors such things as a monthly pastors breakfast. These gatherings will be for fellowship, encouragement and the possibility to foster cooperative efforts throughout and on behalf of our communities. We feel this is important in any community's spiritual growth.
Area wide community Bible-study groups are another goal for the CRC. Reaching out to “un-churched” or “under-churched” individuals in partnership with local churches is among the core mission goals of the Center. Anyone wanting to begin a specific group, i.e.: executives, young parents, college students, etc., the CRC helps to facilitate, organize and promote such meetings; as well as, assist in identifying leaders/teachers to get them started.
Pray for The Christian Resource Center as we continue to plan for the future so that we can help you grow in the faith.
