About Clubhouse Ministries
Clubhouse Ministries is a family owned and operated business, located in Knoxville, Tennessee, designed to help you with your fun events from setting up to tearing down. Clubhouse Ministries is owned in by Mike and Carla Parker.
Mike (you may also know his voice from the "Breakfast Bunch" of Love89.1) has 10+ years of experience working with children He grew up in the Boy Scouts where he became assistant Scout Master for two years. He has coached little league baseball for eight years and been in the youth ministry for seven years. Together, Mike and Carla have two children, Katie and Zach, and are adopting two boys from Guatemala, Julian Henry and Hector Jadon.
At the start, Mike developed the concept of a Block Party Ministry from start to finish. After much thought and prayer Mike and the gang started the ministry in March of 2006, with the goal of enabling churches to reach people for Jesus Christ doing block parties without breaking the bank.
Clubhouse Ministries does not only provide equipment for rental, but we can help you plan your party as well. From evangelism to volunteer training, we have the expertise to help you get a block party ministry off the ground.

A Tribute to Carl Gann
Finally, Clubhouse Ministries would like to dedicate this page to Carl and Wilma Gann. Carl and Wilma were instrumental in getting Clubhouse Ministries started in 2006. In fact, Carl crafted many of the carnival games by hand. We still offer these games as a part of our party packages. In 2008, Carl went home to be with his Lord and Saviour. He was a deacon at his church for over 16 years. We will forever have his memories, and are reminded of his involvement each time we load for the next party.
