Bellevue Loves Memphis Report
In 2007, Bro. Steve led our church to begin the Bellevue Loves Memphis Ministry to show Jesus’ love to our city by meeting practical needs of residents. Since that time, Bellevue members have embraced Bellevue Loves Memphis as a way of life, funding ministries such as The Vue and the Christian Mobile Dental Clinic and giving their time to service projects throughout the city. Take a look at how far Bellevue Loves Memphis has reached!
