About this Event

In 1875, five visionary men planted the seed that birthed the first African-American Episcopal Church in Shelby County, Tennessee. For more than a century and a half, Emmanuel Church has been on the front lines of Christian formation and social change across the Memphis community. Join us in celebrating and honoring our glorious history and hopeful future.
