About
In 2005, the Cedar Springs Church Sanctuary and Handbell Choirs traveled to Peru for a ten-day mission trip, where they presented concerts in a number of universities and churches in Lima. They began to pray at that time that the trip would not be a self-contained event but would be the beginning of a continuing outreach ministry to the Knoxville area and further afield, as God led. The opportunities for service became so numerous that in July 2009 Cedar Springs commissioned Knoxville Christian Art Ministries as a ministry dedicated to missional outreach through choral and instrumental music, dance, and drama. Its membership now includes people from 14 different churches in the Knoxville area who desire to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through their art.
KnoxCAM is a community-wide organization of Christian choral and instrumental musicians, handbell ringers, actors, and dancers who desire to use their gifts in ministry. Our core values are embedded in We Believe. KnoxCAM’s mission is:
- To minister in the Knoxville area and beyond by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through the medium of the performing arts.
- To minister to accomplished Knox-area Christian performing artists by providing a place for them to serve God through their art.
This outreach ministry of Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church is open to performing artists throughout the Knoxville community. Presently, its membership includes people from fourteen different churches. It presents concerts in prisons, inner-city ministries, homeless shelters, retirement centers, and other venues. If you are an experienced performing artist, high school age and older, amateur or professional, Knoxville Christian Arts Ministries is a place for you to serve.

- Choral Singers
- Men’s Ensemble Singers
