Satellite Churches
Bellevue has three satellite churches in Memphis and Shelby County. Impact Baptist Church, in the Frayser community, is the largest and fastest growing African-American Southern Baptist Church in Tennessee. In 2009 the congregation began meeting in a facility formerly occupied by Georgian Hills Baptist Church at 3759 N. Watkins. Impact Ministry operates a weekly food pantry, with Bellevue volunteers distributing food each Saturday morning to approximately 175 families. Impact also offers a thrift store and tutoring for students. Iglesia Bella Vista is a Hispanic church plant near Summer and Highland. A third church plant, Bellevue Arlington, began meeting at Arlington High School in September 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words satellite and/or churches:
“Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The law of God is a law of change, and ... when the Churches set themselves against change as such, they are setting themselves against the law of God.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
