About The Rest Memphis
The Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church was organized in 1920 on Texas Street with the Rev. A.T. Jackson as founder and pastor. A few years later the church moved to the corner of Adelaide and Texas Street. In 1926 the present Pilgrim Rest relocated itself at 1403 Kentucky Street.
In November of 2021 our church pulpit became vacant and soon thereafter began to elect a pastoral search committee to help navigate these uncertain times. The church voted on March 13, 2022, and elected Pastor Terrick M. Banks. Pastor Banks assumed his role officially on April 3, 2022. As we continue, we focus with faith for our future knowing that God still has more for this church through our leader Pastor Terrick Banks.
Our church offers a variety of services and programs designed to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of our congregation and the wider community. From inspiring worship services and thought-provoking Bible studies to dynamic youth programs and impactful community outreach initiatives, The Rest Memphis is dedicated to nurturing growth, fostering healing, and encouraging everyone to live a life of purpose and faith. Join us at The Rest Memphis and be a part of a community that believes in the transformative power of faith in action.
