Project Knox is an outreach ministry of the Knox County Association of Baptists.
Its purpose is to assist area churches and ministries of the association in spreading the word and love of Christ through Christian ministry.  Teams are needed to meet the spiritual and physical needs of our region.  This mission opportunity will help to build and strengthen ties between fellow believers beyond your immediate church and community.

Where can we serve?

  • Housing or Feeding Out-of-Town Teams:
    Our Knox County churches have the opportunity to serve the Project Knox mission teams by preparing meals: one meal, meals for a day, or meals for a week.  Some mission teams on a budget need a church to offer them housing and showers.  
    The fellowship enjoyed in these partnerships is a special part of this ministry.

Nations & Neighbors is a ministry of KCAB to assist, encourage and equip churches to engage the nations God has brought to Knox County to be our neighbors. It is estimated that 30,000 internationals from 120+ countries live in Knox County. Many of these persons come from areas of the world unreached with the gospel and where it is difficult to have missionaries.  We believe God has brought them here so Knox County believers can share the hope and love of the Gospel with them.
