Life moves fast in the 901. Between work, family, and the rhythm of daily life in Memphis, it is easy to feel like you are drifting on an island, disconnected from the very people who can sharpen your faith and lift your spirit.
But you weren't meant to walk this path alone.
How Can I Stay Updated on Events?
You can stay connected by visiting the official event signup page at famemphis.org, subscribing to our weekly emails, or joining the Boundless Online community. Whether you are in Memphis or joining us globally, we make it simple to find your place and get involved.
The Biblical Heart of Gathering
In our modern, digital-heavy world, the word "event" often feels like just another entry on a crowded digital calendar. But in the Kingdom of God, an event is never just a meeting; it is a moment of divine appointment.
The early church understood this deeply. In Acts 2:42-47, we see a picture of a community that was constantly "signing up" for life together. They were devoted to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. They didn't just happen to be in the same room; they were intentionally connected.
When you look for a way to stay updated on church events, you aren't just looking for a schedule. You are looking for a doorway into a family.
Fellowship (Definition): Derived from the Greek word koinonia, fellowship is the act of sharing a common life in Christ. It is more than a social gathering; it is the spiritual bond that unites believers as the Body of Christ.
Why Staying Connected Matters for Your Faith
Isolation is one of the greatest tools of the enemy. When we are disconnected from the local body, our perspective narrows, our discouragement grows, and our spiritual growth often plateaus.
At First Assembly Memphis, we believe that "strength in every community" isn't just a slogan, it is a biblical mandate. Whether you are in Bartlett, Cordova, Arlington, or right in the heart of Memphis, being part of a Spirit-filled community provides:
Accountability: Having brothers and sisters who know your name and your story.
Encouragement: Being lifted up during trials and celebrated during victories.
Discipleship: Learning to follow Jesus more closely through shared study and service.
Mission: Joining others to serve the 901 and reach the nations.
Discovering the Right Path for You
We know that every season of life requires a different kind of connection. That is why First Assembly Memphis offers a diverse range of ministries and events designed to meet you exactly where you are.
For Local 901 Residents
If you call Shelby County home, there is a physical seat waiting for you. Our local events are designed to foster deep, face-to-face relationships that transform neighborhoods.
Vacation Bible School (VBS): A high-energy summer week where the next generation in Memphis encounters the power of the Holy Spirit.
Heart to Heart: A dedicated space for women to connect, study Scripture, and find community in a warm, inviting environment.
Prime Time Cruzers: Our ministry for those in the "prime time" of life, focusing on fellowship, travel, and continued spiritual legacy.
Sports & Recreation: From baseball to fall sports, we believe the mission field includes the ball field.
For Our Global Digital Family
If you are outside the 901 or unable to attend in person, the Kingdom doesn't stop at the city limits. Through Boundless Online Church, we provide a digital bridge for:
The homebound or traveling believer.
International friends seeking Spirit-filled teaching.
Those looking for a safe space to explore faith before stepping into a building.
Discipleship (Definition): The lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, guided by the Word of God and nurtured within the community of believers.

Overcoming the Barrier of "Busy"
The most common reason people stay disconnected isn't a lack of desire, it's the feeling of being overwhelmed. We often say, "I'll get involved when things calm down." But the truth is, life rarely calms down on its own.
The "sin" of busyness can lead to a "famine" of the soul. We fill our schedules with good things, work, sports, errands, but we leave no room for the best thing: Christ-centered community.
The Solution: Start small. You don't have to sign up for every event on the calendar. Pick one step. Maybe it’s a weekly small group or a single outreach event. When we prioritize the Kingdom, God has a way of redeeming the rest of our time.
A Community That Welcomes You
At First Assembly Memphis, we are a multigenerational, Spirit-led church committed to preaching that explains Scripture clearly. We aren't just looking for "attendees"; we are looking for family members.
Whether you have been following Jesus for fifty years or you are just now asking your first questions about God, there is a place for you here. We celebrate the diversity of the 901 and the unity we find in the Gospel.
