1. A Warm "Front-Porch" Welcome

When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel the legendary hospitality that Memphis is known for. From Germantown to Arlington, people from all over the 901 find a place here. We believe every person is a priceless child of God. Whether it's your first time or your hundredth, you can expect a warm greeting and a community that is genuinely glad you’re here.

Repentance Repentance is a heartfelt change of mind and heart that leads a person to turn away from sin and toward God. It is the first step in receiving the gift of salvation.

2. Spirit-Led Worship

We are an Assemblies of God-aligned church, which means we believe in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Our worship is vibrant and Christ-centered. We believe that when we gather to worship, God meets us right where we are. It’s not about a performance; it’s about a real connection with our Creator.

3. Clear, Biblical Teaching

In a world of confusing messages, we stick to the authority of Scripture. Our teaching is focused on explaining the Bible in a way that makes sense for your daily life. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to transform every situation, from your marriage to your career. You can learn more about our core beliefs on our [Mission and Vision](https://www.famemphis.org/mission-and-vision) page.

4. A Heart for the 901

FA Memphis is rooted in the local community. We love Memphis, and we are committed to serving our neighbors in Cordova, Bartlett, and beyond. Whether it’s through local outreach or seasonal community events, we want to be a light in the city we call home.

5. Ministries for the Whole Family

We know that parents are looking for a safe and engaging environment for their children. Our family-focused ministries are designed to help kids and students build a firm foundation in their faith. From Sunday mornings to special events like [Trunk or Treat](https://www.famemphis.org/trunk-or-treat), there is always something happening for the next generation.

6. Small Groups and Real Connection

It’s hard to get to know everyone in a large gathering, which is why we emphasize Life Groups. These smaller communities allow you to build real friendships, pray for one another, and grow in your faith together. It’s where the "big" church feels like a small family.

Sanctification Sanctification is the ongoing process of being set apart for God’s purposes and becoming more like Jesus Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life.

7. Diversity Reflecting the Kingdom

We celebrate the diversity of Memphis. Our church is a multigenerational, multi-ethnic community. We believe the Church should look like the Kingdom of God, people from every background, neighborhood, and walk of life coming together under the name of Jesus.

8. A Bridge to the Global Community

While we are deeply local, we also have a global heartbeat. Through [Boundless Online Church](https://www.boundlessonlinechurch.org), we reach people who can’t attend in person, whether they are traveling, homebound, or living outside of Tennessee. We believe the Kingdom of God has no borders.

9. A Path for Personal Growth

We aren't just here to hold services; we are here to make disciples. FA Memphis provides tools and resources to help you grow. Whether you are a new believer or have been following Christ for years, we have pathways to help you master the basics of faith and lead others. Check out our [I'm New](https://www.famemphis.org/i-m-new) page to see how to start your journey.

10. A Community of Prayer

We believe in the power of prayer. We’ve seen God do the impossible in the lives of our members. Whether you have a "praise report" or a heavy burden, we want to stand with you. Our [Prayer and Praise](https://www.famemphis.org/prayer-and-praise) team is dedicated to lifting up the needs of our city and our church family.
