Values of TBAH
As an organization we aim first of all to be Christian in all that we are and all that we are about. We are without apology Baptist in our approach and polity being an institution affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention. And, we emphasize quality in the care we give, the staff we employ, and the facilities we provide.
A Brief Biography of Our Ministry
Tennessee Baptist Adult Homes was founded in 1974 by the Tennessee Baptist Convention with the expressed purpose of leading Tennessee Baptists in developing a residential ministry for senior adults.
And, in 1987, the Deer Lake Retirement Community in Nashville came under TBAH. A year later construction was completed on Baptist Village of Johnson City.
In 1988 the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board assigned TBAH to work with Baptists across the state in providing a residential ministry for adults with exceptional needs.
We now have two group homes in Knoxville, one in Jacksboro, and two in Lebanon.
Today, TBAH has seven ministry facilities providing Christian care and homes for senior adults in retirement and also for exceptional adults. Nearly 150 adults are provided a home in these facilities.
