Collins Chapel CME Church "A Historical Landmark"
...Out of the believer's heart shall flow
rivers of living water (John 7:37-39)

| But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5) |

Our church was found in 1841 as the first organized Colored church congregation. The church is located on its original site, at the corner of Washington and Orleans Street, in the Memphis Landmark's Commission Historic District. The congregation began worshiping on this site in 1841, under an arbor. Before then the slaves and servants had worshiped in the loft of First Methodist Church (formerly Wesley Chapel). In 1859, the Conference of the C.M.E. Church South, charged Rev. J.T.C. Collins (white), with the responsibility of leading the members in purchasing the site and building a church. The conference named the church Collins Chapel in honor of the leadership Rev. Collins had provided. We have a long and illustrious history with prominent members (past and present) who have made over the years many contributions in the fields of religion, medicine, business, and education.
