FA Memphis Connection: Looking for a Spirit-Filled Church in Memphis or Online?

First Assembly Memphis is a Spirit-led, Bible-centered church family serving the 901 area and the world through Boundless Online Church. We focus on clear Gospel preaching, authentic community, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit to help you take your next step toward Jesus.

Finding a place to call home, whether you’re walking through physical doors in Memphis or connecting through a screen from across the globe, is one of the most important decisions you can make. At First Assembly Memphis (FA Memphis), we don't just call ourselves a church; we call ourselves a FAMily.

Rooted in the heart of the 901 and stretching across borders through Boundless Online Church, we are a community committed to the historical truths of the Bible and the modern-day power of the Holy Spirit. If you are searching for a church that feels like family, here are 10 foundational things you should know about who we are and what we believe.

---

1. Jesus Christ is the Center of Everything

At FA Memphis, Jesus is not just a historical figure; He is the living Savior and Lord. We believe that Jesus is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life. Everything we do, from our worship to our community outreach, revolves around His life, death, and resurrection.

Definition: The Deity of Christ The biblical truth that Jesus is God in human form, possessing all the attributes of divinity while being fully human.

2. We are a Spirit-Filled Community

As an Assemblies of God-aligned church, we believe the Holy Spirit is active and moving today. We encourage believers to seek the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, an experience distinct from salvation that provides power for living a bold Christian life and witnessing to others.

3. The Bible is Our Final Authority

In a world of shifting opinions, we stand on the firm foundation of Scripture. We believe the Bible is inspired by God and is the reliable guide for our faith and how we live our lives. Whether you are attending a Bible study in Memphis or watching a sermon on Boundless, you will hear teaching that is deeply rooted in the Word.

4. Salvation is a Free Gift of Grace

You don’t have to "clean yourself up" to come to God. Salvation is received through repentance, turning from sin, and placing your trust in Jesus Christ alone. This restored relationship with God brings peace, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life.

Definition: Salvation The act of being delivered from the power and penalty of sin through faith in Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

5. We Believe in the Power of Baptism

We practice water baptism by immersion. It is a beautiful outward symbol of an inward change, showing the world that your "old self" has died and you have been raised to new life in Christ. It is a celebration of your commitment to follow Jesus.

6. Sanctification is a Lifelong Journey

Walking with Jesus is a process, not a one-time event. We believe in Sanctification, which is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life, helping us grow in character and become more like Jesus every day. We are all "works in progress" here.

Definition: Sanctification The process of being set apart for God’s purposes and being transformed into the likeness of Christ through the Holy Spirit.

7. We Pray for Divine Healing

We believe that God still heals today. Based on the sacrifice of Jesus, divine healing is a privilege for all believers. Whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we are a people of prayer who trust in God’s power to restore.

8. Memphis-Hearted: Serving the 901

We love our city. From Cordova and Bartlett to Arlington and Germantown, FA Memphis is dedicated to strengthening families and serving our neighbors. We believe the local church should be a lighthouse of hope in the community. If you're in the 901, there is a seat at the table for you.

9. Boundless Reach: Faith Without Borders

We know that not everyone can make it to a physical building. Through Boundless Online Church, we serve the homebound, the traveling, and the international seeker. Boundless isn't just a stream; it's a digital discipleship community where you can find prayer, connection, and growth from anywhere in the world.

10. You Are Never Alone

The most important thing to know about our FAMily is that you don't have to walk through life's challenges by yourself. We are a multigenerational, diverse community that believes in the power of "together." We are here to celebrate your victories and carry your burdens.
