Frequently Asked Questions

How old do I have to be to be a member?

Anyone over the age of 18 can be a member of MCK.

Do you provide financial aid for the membership fee?

Your membership payment serves to support MCK. We encourage you make your payment and consider it as a sadaqah for the masjid.

However, if you can’t make it, don’t let that stop you from becoming a member of our beautiful community! You can still complete the registration without payment and become a member.

Email admin@muslimknoxville.org for more information.
