A Rich History of Faith
First Assembly Memphis didn't just pop up overnight. This church has deep roots going back to 1908, when a small group led by Adams and Rev. Charles H. Mason started tent meetings on Trigg Avenue. In 1926, the church officially joined the Assemblies of God, and by 1934, it was re-chartered as First Assembly of God at its location on South Third Street.
Over the decades, the church has grown, moved, and adapted: but the mission has stayed the same: to help people encounter Jesus and live out their faith in everyday life. That legacy continues today, both in Cordova and online through Boundless.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." – Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)
You are never forgotten. You are never alone. You are deeply loved by God: and this community is here to remind you of that truth every single day.
