Welcome
We Would Like to Welcome You to Our Community
One church in two locations, serving Memphis.
Greater Community Temple’s mission is to impact its community through evangelism, discipleship, and incorporating God’s family into our fellowship. We are committed to developing believers in their faith of the Lord Jesus Christ through the consistent study and application of God’s Word.
We exist to celebrate God’s presence, to demonstrate God’s love, to communicate God’s Word, and to educate God’s people.
Our purpose
Why we exist
Four commitments shape everything we do at Greater Community Temple — in the sanctuary, in our ministries and across the city we serve.
Demonstrate
God’s love. Outreach, missions and care ministries that meet real needs across Memphis and beyond.
Communicate
God’s Word. Preaching and teaching from the pulpit, on the air and online, wherever you are.
Educate
God’s people. Sunday Empowerment Training and ministry classes that grow believers in faith and practice.
