Welcome
God has placed us in our city for a reason, and each individual member has an integral part in reaching our City. It is our hope that God will raise up people with a heart for our city, county, and region to see Christ proclaimed, to love the poor, and to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves. The following are the church plants we are currently working alongside.
Urban Ministry Initiative
We believe that Memphis faces an unprecedented opportunity to see the hand of God move and work as we embrace those that Jesus loved most. He loved the hurting, the broken, and the oppressed. Our Urban Ministry Initiative is us believing God to use Faith to engage the urban areas of our city to bring restoration and hope. We plan to do this by partnering and engaging our city with the following ministries.
Church Partnerships
We believe that making disciples happens through the local church. We are currently assisting multiple church planters throughout our county to develop vibrant congregations that extend the gospel to their neighbors and throughout Shelby county. The following are the church plants we are currently working alongside.
