1993

Genesis FWB Church opened its doors on June 1, 1993 at a store front location on Keith Road,

Bristol, Tennessee under the direction of Rev. Jennings Dotson. Prior to its launch, several months of pre-planning was competed with a

small group of 12 people who were the original Charter Members. Today, 7 of those members

are still active.

1994

After a year of stability and growth, Genesis Church purchased a church building located at 1806

Kentucky Avenue, Bristol, Tennessee. While here, the church elected Rev. Doug McCracken for the roll of Associate Pastor, a position he served faithfully until his death in 2014.
