My name is Amanda Henderson, and I’m honored to introduce myself as the new Director of Youth, Young Adult, and Pastoral Juvenil Ministry for the Diocese of Knoxville. 

Some of you I’ve had the joy of meeting over the past decade through my work in parish ministry in the Chattanooga Deanery. Whether we’ve crossed paths before or are just getting to know one another now, I’m truly looking forward to serving alongside you in this new role. 

As I begin this journey, I would love to get to know you and your ministry better — and to hear how the Diocese can support you in your work. I know from experience that ministry can sometimes feel like you’re on an island, so let’s build some bridges of collaboration, encouragement, and shared purpose! 

If you could please take a moment to fill out a brief survey (linked below), it would mean so much. Your insights will help shape how we move forward together. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out — even just to say hello. I’d be grateful for the chance to connect with you! 

With gratitude and hope, 

Director of Youth, Young Adult, and Pastoral Juvenil
