ABOUT US
Ministry Staff
We are led by a dedicated team of ministers who are committed to walking alongside students and loving them as they explore and grow in their faith.
Taylor Holt
Over the last 10 years, Taylor has served as a college minister on campuses in Texas, Kentucky, and now Tennessee. He can't imagine a more fulfilling way of life than walking alongside students as they explore and live out their faith, find authentic community, and use their gifts to serve others. Taylor believes the college years are some of the most pivotal in a person's life, and enjoys helping students build a foundation during their college years that will help them follow Jesus faithfully for a lifetime.
Caroline Wright
Caroline graduated in May 2025 from the University of Tennessee, during which she was an active member of the Christian Student Center and served on the leadership team. Upon graduating, she was brought on staff at the CSC full-time. As her time as a student, she met some of her best friends, made lasting relationships, and was mentored by some amazing, Godly women, and she is excited to help students have a similar experience.
Whitney Holt
Whitney has joyfully served in college ministry alongside her husband Taylor for the last 10 years, during which she has been blessed to pour into the lives of countless students. Whitney loves building relationships with students, opening her home to others, and helping create a Christ-centered community where people feel known, loved, and encouraged in their faith.
Our Mission
& Values
Prayer
We believe in the power of prayer as a foundational element of our faith journey. Through prayer, we seek guidance, strength, and a deeper connection with God, both individually and collectively.
People Over Events
Relationships are at the heart of our ministry. We prioritize the well-being and spiritual growth of each individual over the success of our events. Our focus is on building a supportive and inclusive community where everyone feels valued and loved.
KNOW. LOVE. SERVE.
Our mission is to develop a community of students who know, love, and serve Jesus.
Transformation Over Numbers
Our goal is to foster genuine transformation in the lives of our students so they become more like Jesus. We measure success not by the number of attendees but by the depth of spiritual growth, the strength of our community, and the impact of our service to others.
Reaching Campus for Christ
We are dedicated to sharing the love and message of Jesus Christ to college students in Knoxville. Through intentional outreach and evangelism, we strive to be a light to our peers and to create opportunities to encounter and embrace the Gospel.
