When you call the church, chances are you will hear Lexie's voice and sense her desire to help you.

 

Lexie Henry Van Pelt grew up in East Knoxville on her family farm which was settled in the late 1700s. She is proud to have deep roots in Knoxville’s history. She and her husband Bill both graduated from UT in 1984. After graduation, they moved to Augusta, GA where they lived for 31 years. 

 

They are both lifelong Methodists and have served in many positions including Administrative, Committee Chair, Treasurer, Teacher, Children & Youth. Lexie was a stay-at-home mom for many years with their daughter Haley. She served in many volunteer positions in Haley’s school and community activities. 

 

In 2009, Haley was injured in an automobile accident and is now disabled. In 2015, Lexie and her family moved back to Knoxville to be closer to family, and they built a home in Hardin Valley. Through caring for Haley’s needs, they have seen God work in so many ways to provide for their family. They have a strong faith and believe that the Lord sees us and knows our hearts.
