Finding the right spiritual home can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but in the heart of the 901, there is a place where you are already wanted.
Is There a Church in Memphis That Feels Like Family?
Yes. First Assembly Memphis (FA Memphis) is a Spirit-filled, Bible-centered church in Cordova, TN, designed to help you experience Jesus, worship passionately, and find real community. Whether you are a lifelong believer or just curious, you are welcome here as part of our growing spiritual family.
Built on the Word, Driven by the Spirit
At FA Memphis, we are firmly rooted in the Assemblies of God tradition. This means we believe the Bible is the ultimate authority for life and that the Holy Spirit is actively working today to empower, heal, and guide us. Our mission isn't just to fill seats; it’s to help you navigate life and please God.
As the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:19, "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household." This is the heartbeat of our church, moving from being a stranger to being a family member in the Kingdom of God.
10 Things You Should Know About First Assembly Memphis
If you are looking for a church in Memphis, Cordova, Bartlett, or the surrounding 901 area, here is what makes our community unique.
1. We Are Rooted in the 901
Located at 8650 Walnut Grove Road in Cordova, our 55-acre campus serves the entire Memphis region. We love our city, and we believe God has placed us here to be a lighthouse of hope for Shelby County and beyond.
2. Worship is a Priority, Not a Performance
When you join us on a Sunday morning at 10:30 am, you won't just hear music; you’ll encounter a Spirit-led atmosphere. We value passionate worship that honors God and opens our hearts to His presence.
3. We Are a Multigenerational Family
From infants to seniors, there is a place for everyone. We believe the church is at its strongest when all generations worship together. Our Life Groups at 9:30 am provide a space for every age group to grow and connect.

4. Your Kids and Teens Will Thrive
Through our partnership with First Assembly Christian School (FACS) and our dedicated children’s and youth ministries, we are committed to equipping the next generation. Our Wednesday night services at 6:30 pm are a highlight for students looking for faith and friendship.
5. Midweek Connection Matters
Wednesdays at FA Memphis are more than just a service. We start with a Family Dinner from 5:00–6:15 pm, allowing busy families to share a meal before heading into ministry programs for men, women, and youth.
6. No One is Meant to Walk Alone
The "901" can be a big place, but it shouldn't be a lonely one. We emphasize real friendship and community. Whether you are single, married, or a single parent, you will find people here who want to walk alongside you.
7. We Are a Global Church with Boundless Reach
We understand that not everyone can make it to Cordova every Sunday. That’s why we created Boundless Online Church. We serve the homebound, the deployed, and those living across the globe with the same pastoral care and biblical truth we offer in person.

8. We Believe in Divine Healing
As an Assemblies of God church, we believe that God still heals today. We regularly pray for the sick and believe in the power of God to transform lives physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
9. Discipleship is Our Goal
We don’t just want you to attend; we want you to grow. Through our weekly emails and Bible studies, we provide the tools you need to deepen your relationship with Jesus and discover your unique purpose.
10. You Are Always Invited
You don’t have to "get your act together" before you walk through our doors. Whether you have questions, doubts, or a history of church hurt, there is a seat for you at the table.

Taking Your Next Step in Faith
Choosing a church is a big decision, but it doesn't have to be a complicated one. The best way to know if FA Memphis is home is to experience it for yourself. Whether you join us on Walnut Grove Road or connect with our global community online, we believe God has something specific for you in this season.
Life Takeaway: Your faith was never intended to be a solo journey. Finding a healthy, Bible-centered community is the first step toward a life of lasting peace and purpose.
Closing Question: Are you ready to move from being a face in the crowd to being a part of a family?
