Who We Are

Demo SFAEC is an Episcopal parish serving Knoxville and the wider East Tennessee community. We are part of the Anglican tradition — a church that prizes beautiful liturgy, thoughtful preaching, and genuine welcome for anyone who walks through our doors, whether a lifelong Episcopalian or someone exploring Christian faith for the very first time.

We believe that worship, formation, and service belong together. That is why we gather for Sunday Eucharist, study Scripture together, care for our neighbors, and share our parish life here at demo.vixlex.net — publishing sermons, reflections, ministry stories, and community news several times every week. Wherever you are on your journey, there is a place for you here.

What Matters Most at Demo SFAEC

✍ Sermons, Reflections & the Rector's Voice

Every Sunday homily, pastoral letter, and mid-week reflection is published here shortly after it is delivered. Whether you sat in the pew or missed the service, you can read, share, and sit with the Word. Our clergy write from the heart of East Tennessee parish life — grounded in the lectionary, honest about the struggles and joys of daily faith.
