Fall in Memphis brings a wave of people starting something new with students moving in for the semester, young professionals relocating for a first job, and recent grads figuring out what comes next. If that’s you this year, one of the first questions on your list is probably where you’re going to find people. The Life Church in Memphis was built with exactly that season of life in mind.
Start With a Sunday or a College Night
The easiest way to visit is either a Sunday service or College Night, a monthly gathering at the Highland location built specifically for ages 18 to 25. The room is big enough that you can show up without knowing anyone and not feel out of place, and friendly volunteers are there to answer questions and point you in the right direction. You don’t need to already have it figured out to walk through the doors.
Where Fall Friendships Actually Start
Sunday mornings are the front door, but the friendships that last form in Life Groups and on serving teams. College-specific Life Groups meet weekly across Memphis in a few different formats: Bible study groups, activity groups, and dinner groups, so you can pick the one that fits how you naturally connect with people. Once you start serving, you’re seeing the same people every week, which is how acquaintances turn into real community.
