Beech Springs Baptist Church

What Beech Springs Baptist Church does

Beech Springs Baptist Church is an independent, non-profit Baptist congregation headquartered at 337 W. Mount Road, Kodak, Tennessee, serving the Sevier County community. The church is led by Pastor Sam Grindstaff with an Associate Pastor of Ministries (Kelley Blake), a Youth Director/Worship Leader (Ryan Burnette), and a Music Director/Worship Leader (Joe Cate), supported by a small staff of approximately 5. Its service portfolio centers on Sunday and Wednesday worship, Sunday School programming for adults and children (Beech Kids, using the Dig In curriculum), a network of 20+ small groups spanning youth, college/career, seniors, couples, women, music, and missions, and a calendar of yearly events including Vacation Bible School, Fall Festival, Christmas Play, and Marriage Retreat.

The church's underlying technology footprint is modest: a SnapPages-hosted website, a mobile application distributed on Google Play, the iTunes App Store, and the Roku Channel Store, Fluro.io for online forms and signup workflows, Facebook for sermon distribution, and CCLI-licensed media for streaming. There are no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI/ML components. Community service extensions include a monthly Food Pantry and Clothes Closet and the E3 Missions (Everybody, Everywhere, Everyday) outreach initiative, which provides recurring financial and volunteer support to 12+ partner organizations including Samaritan's Purse, Isaiah 117 House, Pregnancy Resource Center, Gideons, Eppic Ministries, and Care Cuts Knox.

The business model is purely donation-driven: Beech Springs Baptist Church collects voluntary tithes and offerings during in-person services, through online giving via its website or app, and by mail. No products or services are sold for monetary value, and no pricing structure or commercial revenue streams exist. The organization is independently operated with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external funding rounds. Its customer base consists of local congregants and community members in Kodak/Sevier County, with a horizontal segmentation approach spanning all age groups and demographics.
