BUZZ Running game a step behind
The quarterback position should be the least of Butch Jones’ worries. Did you see that running game April 22 in Neyland Stadium at the Orange and White game? Me neither. It was nonexistent.

Justin Bailey and mother Laura Bailey in front of Arnold’s Garage building, which they purchased and hope to redevelop.
By John Shearer Plenty of new developments have come to Powell recently, but Justin Bailey and his mother, Laura Bailey, have been focusing part of their energy on redeveloping a reminder of old.
Two years after he bought and renovated the 1903 J.E. Groner Building on Depot Drive in downtown Powell, he and his mother are looking at redeveloping the historic former Arnold’s Garage building two doors west.
At this early-to-mid 20th century building where automobiles were serviced, they hope they can also continue to draw cars – but those belonging to people stopping there to eat at a restaurant or shop at a trendy or unique store.
“After doing that building (the Groner), Mom and I talked and decided to renovate this one,” said Justin Bailey. “We are actively pursuing tenants.” To page A-3

Catching up with Pastor Brian Davis By John Shearer As a pastor, the Rev. Brian Davis of Powell Church enjoys trying to mold stories as well as people’s spiritual lives. “Preaching and teaching are my favorite parts,” he said during a recent interview. “I like the art of crafting a sermon. I like to research and read and learn things and share with the congregation.” “I also like teaching because there are more opportunities for feedback.” Davis, the senior pastor of the United Methodist-affiliated congregation at 323 W. Emory Road, came to Powell in 2015 after being appointed by the church’s Holston Conference. The 41-year-old’s arrival at the church that averages about 825 weekly worshipers came following a journey long in miles and preparation. Raised in the Chattanooga area, he grew up attending Burks United Methodist Church in Hixson. Not long after graduating from Soddy-Daisy High School, he realized church ministry work was his calling. “I was really active in the youth group at Burks, and started teaching the youth in college,” he said. “While preparing to teach, I realized God was calling me to do that.”
Among the UT-Chattanooga alumnus’ early ministerial jobs were serving as youth director at Graysville United Methodist in North Georgia and First United Methodist in Cynthiana, Ky., while attending Asbury Theological Seminary. For the previous 12 years before coming to Powell, he served as an associate pastor at First-Centenary United Methodist Church in downRev. Davis town Chattanooga and helped start an alternative service. Despite both churches being United Methodist congregations and well above average in size, they each have a different feel, he said. “Being in downtown and in a suburban community (like Powell) is very different,” he said. “Even though they (First-Centenary) had a contemporary service (as one of the worship offerings), it had a very high church feel.” At Powell Church, more people attend the two Sunday morning contemporary services in the newer worship space than the growing traditional service in the older sanctuary, he said. But he likes the fact that the church has

different offerings, including a recovery worship program on Thursday nights. “I think having multiple services is a good thing,” he said, likening it to a movie theater that shows different kinds of movies. He also appreciates the fact that the gifts of the roughly 10-member staff at Powell Church are different as well. As an example, he said associate pastor the Rev. Martha Atkins, who leads the traditional service while he preaches the contemporary sermon, is gifted in administrative duties among other talents. Davis, a big Tennessee Vols fan, lives with his wife, Melanie, and children, Caleb and Micah, not far from the church and has enjoyed being in the area. He calls it a nice, closely knit community with numerous people who worship somewhere. But he thinks numerous opportunities exist to reach other area people, too, including the more economically disadvantaged. The church already has such outreach programs as a food pantry and a clothing closet, and it is looking at starting another ministry for that demographic. “We want to reach others,” he said.
