Churches in Memphis
Memphis is full of great, Gospel-centered churches. These are just a few of the ones we suggest. As a group, we will go to churches together (only a few from the list below), and you will have time to carefully choose which church to join. We recommend researching them now (check websites, listen to sermons, etc.) to help with the church selection. If you have any questions, please contact the EL Team.
Six churches we will visit as a group:
