this is our story.
We began as a team who shared the vision of seeing a healthy, gospel-centered church planted in Hampton, TN.
Some of us had called this community home for our entire lives, others of us had moved to the area in recent years. Our group was a mixture of grandparents, singles, young parents, and teenagers. We worked as construction workers, teachers, camp staff, small business owners, missionaries, bankers, stay at home moms, and much more.
We came together with a common desire to be disciples who make disciples. Through the planting of the gospel in Hampton, our aim was to see God glorified and our neighbors loved. Jesus was and is our passion, and we want those around us to taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:8).

We created this video leading up to our launch to share our mission with others.
Red Stone Church of Elizabethton
The families and individuals who are planted Hampton Community Church were sent out of and commissioned by Red Stone Church Elizabethton. Red Stone is a church that was planted with the desire to multiply as part of its DNA.
PAC: Planting Appalachian Churches
