Greater Things was founded in 2015 by Jana and Chuck Spicka with a vision for revelation and community.

Greater Things is a community where women are invited to encounter Jesus, grow in their identity and calling, and live out their faith. We believe every woman is deeply valued by her Creator, uniquely gifted, and created with purpose.
With new leadership and a renewed vision, we remain rooted in our focus: encountering Jesus, elevating women, and expanding the Kingdom. Through Scripture, prayer, worship, teaching, and community, we help women know and walk in God’s deep love for them, grow confident in who He created them to be, and share that love with others.
We are also extending our reach throughout Knoxville, gathering in different places across the city to learn, worship, pray, and serve. We’re making room for more women to connect, grow in their God-given gifts, and carry Christ’s love into their communities.
