Welcome to

Unaka Avenue Baptist Church

We have been following and proclaiming Jesus Christ as the only Savior and Lord since 1915 – over 100 years.  Please join us as we continue to worship Jesus Christ, who loved us first, and advance the ministry handed down over several generations of Christian saints.

What to Expect

When we speak of “worship,” we are referring to the life of our congregation: attending worship services, creating music, honoring life.

Brief Bio

Our Pastor: Reverend Bill McDaniel

Personal & Education
Bill has been married to Sherrie for over 33 years. He has 2 children and 3 grandchildren, resides in Jonesborough, TN. He was licensed to minister in 1992, graduated from Carson Newman with a degree in Religion and a concentration in Business Administration, and ordained by Unaka Avenue Baptist in 1995.

Ministry
Bill has served in bi-vocational ministry opportunities since 1993. His ministry style is focused on in-depth Bible study. It is expository in delivery. He focuses on the church (worship, education, discipleship) and the lost (evangelism through living a life that exalts Christ, witnessing when the Spirit provides).

Secular
He works for Ballad Health. He has been with Ballad (Mountain States Health Alliance/Johnson City Medical Center) since 1998. He is in a leadership role within the Information Technology department.

Statement of Faith
I am a Southern Baptist and affirm The 2000 Baptist Faith & Message. Theologically, I am fundamentally conservative. I believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It is the guide for the Church.
