Ways to belong

Four rooms in one house.

We don't do programs. We make room — for the people God is already drawing toward Himself. Here are the four rooms our family meets in.

Scripture

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

— James 1:27

Outreach

Hands and feet to a neighborhood that already belongs to God.

We don't hand out tracts. We hand out groceries, fix a fence, sit on a porch, and tell the truth when it's asked. Outreach is the church refusing to be a building. Once a month we go where the need is loudest in Memphis and the surrounding hills.

When: Last Saturday of the month · 9:00 AM

Scripture

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

— Psalm 119:105

Bible Studies

Slow reading, honest questions, scripture as living water.

We read the Bible the way you'd read a love letter — slowly, twice, with the lamp on. Each season we walk a book together. No homework. No quiz. Just the unhurried task of letting God speak.

When: Wednesdays · 6:30 PM

Scripture

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

— 2 Corinthians 3:17

Presence Recovery

A safe room for those finding freedom — one breath at a time.

Recovery is not a program at Presence Sanctuary. It is a room. A weekly room where men and women come — many of them carrying addiction, grief, shame, trauma — and where the Holy Spirit meets them in the company of others who are not afraid of the dark. We follow a Christ-centered, grace-saturated rhythm. There is no entry fee, no spotlight, no graduation date. Just keep coming back.

When: Saturdays · 5:00 PM

Scripture

“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.”

— Acts 2:46

Fellowship

Tables, tears, laughter — the family that grace keeps gathering.

Some of the deepest theology in this church gets done over casseroles. Fellowship at Presence Sanctuary takes the shape of shared meals, birthday cards mailed, hospital visits made, and a phone tree that actually rings. It is the gospel embodied in the unhurried life of a family.

When: First Friday of the month · 6:00 PM potluck
