Campus Facilities
For more than a quarter century, FACS was housed on a 6.75 acre campus on North Highland Street. In November of 1999, First Assembly Memphis Church and First Assembly Christian School moved east to what is now a 55-acre campus in Cordova. The main church and school building are known for its beautiful spire atop the highest point in Shelby County at 8650 Walnut Grove Road.
​
In 2009, FACS opened a second academic building on the same campus. The new facility was given its own address, 8636 Walnut Grove Road. In 2019, a large addition to the original 8650 Building was completed.
​
Students have access to two full-size gymnasiums, two dining halls, fine arts music wing for chorus and band, a multi-purpose room with theatre staging, lighting, and sound, spacious multi-purpose activity rooms for children and youth, well-equipped science, computer, and art labs, and beautiful worship spaces for chapel and musical performance.

You will also notice our scoreboard, which displays the score and other game-related information.
