On-campus church offers new, convenient worship location for students Kyle Turner News Editor Faith Promise Church hosted its inaugural service this Sunday on UT’s campus. The church currently has locations in Maryville, West Knox, and now on campus in AMB. “Our other location is 18 miles away and it really can prove tough for some students to make it,” Josh Whitehead, executive pastor at Faith Promise, said. “Currently there are no churches that actually meet in campus buildings. We chose a place that everyone knows, in the heart of campus.” The new church is looking to reduce as many barriers as possible for interested attendees. All students are urged to come as they are. The church is looking for any student of any background, Whitehead said. Tyler Summitt, junior in communication studies, has attended the Faith Promise church for years. He is excited to see the new church coming to campus and thinks it is indicative of the church’s prosperity. “Faith Promise has been expanding while other churches are shrinking. In these economic times, that is not normal, but Faith Promise is not normal. It is a modern church unlike the others,” Summitt said. The services at Faith
Promise hope to create an unparalleled environment where students can worship. “This is a modern church. The worship services are very different. There is a full band, almost like a concert,” Whitehead said. “We are trying to provide an engaging and modern worship experience.” According to Summitt, the way services are delivered sets Faith Promise apart. “This church is different because the people there tell it like it is,” Summitt said. “They are honest with you.” Faith Promise’s advent to campus was spurred by multiple reasons. “The biggest reason we decided to come to campus is because 80 percent of students stop going to church after they turn 18,” Whitehead said. “By having church on campus, we give students a way to connect where they are already.” By having the church on campus, students now can invite friends and find a church, if looking, Whitehead said. “For the first time, there is no harm in coming,” Summitt said. “I can guarantee a different experience than ever before in a positive way.” Faith Promise services on UT’s campus meet every Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in AMB Room 210.
BOOFest provides safe Halloween Liz Ross Staff Writer The UT Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are calling this year’s Halloween a day of service. Halloween will be on a Monday and members decided they should host a BOOFest for students in the Knoxville community to present a safe alternative to trick-or-treating. BOOFest will take place at Green Magnet Elementary from 5-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31. It is the first annual Halloween/Fall festival for the NAACP, and members are working hard to get the project off of the ground. With a carnival approach, the school will be transformed into stations for trick-or-treating, booths with games, inflatables, concession stands and more. Since hearing about the event, PTA members, faculty and staff of the school are excited and pleased that a UT student organization decided to reach out to the community in such a way. President Anderson Olds, senior in political science, said he wishes there had been something similar to BOOFest when he was growing up. “Some kids aren’t privileged with being able to trick-or-treat through their neighborhood safely without having to fear something devastating will happen,” Olds said. “This provides that for them.” The kids can enjoy Halloween and the trick-or-treating tradition, but in a new way. Along with family and friends, not only can they fill their bags with candy, but also enjoy a childhood holiday without the safety concern. Event coordinator Samantha Stewart, senior in microbiology, is hoping that the event will have
a huge turnout and that other organizations at the school, as well as local companies, will join in the spirit of service that night and volunteer, donate and support the festival. “I think this is a great way for the campus to connect with the local people, especially the children, and show that we care about their community,” Stewart said. Many of the NAACP members are also mentors in the Big Brother Big Sister program and have littles that attend Green Magnet. “We are already active at Green Magnet, and the children know our faces, so we knew this school would be a great place to host this event,” Stewart said. “We’re hoping that it’ll start an annual trend at the school and maybe even spread to other schools.” Aside from volunteering, students can help out by donating bags of assorted candy. Candy bins will be located throughout the campus for collection (the Women’s Center in the UC, the Panhellenic and the Black Cultural Center). For every five or more bags of candy donated (and reported to Samantha Stewart at sstewa19@utk.edu) students can earn hours for community service. Children will be able to trickor-treat throughout the night, and, as they leave for the evening, will receive a bag filled with candy to top off the festival. “Before you go out that night to relive your childhood, come join us in giving, to help another child build those same memories,” Stewart said. If you would like to participate in any way for this event, please contact Samantha Stewart at sstewa19@utk.edu or the Tara Sripunvoraskul • The Daily Beacon NAACP at naacp@utk.edu.
