FACS was founded in 1972; programs for kindergarten through Grade 8 began in 1972 and grades 9-12 were added in 1975. The school is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. First Assembly is also a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, Southern Association of Independent Schools, Tennessee Association of Independent Schools, Memphis Association of Independent Schools, and the College Board. Though strongly supported by First Assembly of God Church, of the Assemblies of God, the school's website identifies itself as Non-denominational Christian. HistoryAccording to the historian Marcus Pohlmann, FACS was established in 1970 as part of a wave of private schools formed by white parents seeking to avoid sending their children to racially integrated public schools.[1] CampusesOriginalOriginally located in East Memphis, the {{convert|20|acre|ha}} campus contained classrooms, a gymnasium and a sanctuary, which was also used for chapel services, theatre productions, graduations and assemblies.
