What should I expect on my first visit to a church in Knoxville?

What does KJV-only mean?

A KJV (King James Version) church uses the King James Bible as its primary or only translation for preaching and teaching. Several churches in Knoxville are KJV churches — you can spot many of them by their independent, fundamental Baptist tradition.
