The John Knox Fellowship is a Christian men’s organization comprised of Presbyterian churches from four West Tennessee counties: Haywood, Fayette, Tipton, and Shelby. This group was organized in 1950 and meets twice a year.
The namesake, John Knox (1505-1572), was a Scottish minister who studied under John Calvin. Knox became a leader of the Scottish Reformation and along with five others wrote the Scots Confession in just four days. This statement of faith of the Scottish Church remained until 1649, when it was replaced by the Westminster Confession of Faith.
The meetings rotate among the larger churches: Brownsville, Covington, and Somerville. Each host church provides a meal followed by a program. This group strives to uplift, motivate, educate, and encourage Presbyterian men throughout West Tennessee to a greater commitment to Christ and His church.
