Grace and peace to all of you! Wow! I am excited that you chose to visit the "Cathedral Nation" or "The Cathedral" as we are affectionately known as. We are excited that you want to learn more about who we are as a Church and how we have been an leading religious institution in our community.

We also want to extend our gratitude to our many community members and community partners during the "Let's Talk Memphis" 2024 National Faith & HIV/AIDS Awareness Day event that was held at our church. We were able to have a productive and healthy conversation and talk on better sex practices, hear voices and experiences, bring awareness, testing and develop strategies  on combating HIV stigma. We are grateful for providing continued educational opportunities and partnering with our community to create change. 

​

September is Men's month at the Cathedral and we are excited to have a son of the Cathedral, Elder Glen Allen, who will be present Sunday, September 15, 2024 bringing a powerful and impactful message of hope during our 12:30 worship experience.

​

December 2024 we will be celebrating Founder's Day honoring 12 years that I have been serving as the pastor of this great church. I ask that you continue to pray with and for me as I seek direction in which God is to continue to take this ministry and the work that is assigned to our hands.
