PREFACE
‘ The Directory of Churches, Missions, and Religious Instiéutioms
of Tennss§E5?“i€H5IE§ oisnofjiYRi$E%*E?"¥oiEESs—
E€sY§H€E`YSJSsr?E*Es“IEEHEooks—?6?mETnistars, layman, students, and
research specialists in the field of church history and in sociological
and genealogical investigations. The information contained in this
voluuw will be incorporated in a Stats-wide Directory to be published
at a future dats. The preparation of the Directory is a necessary
preliminary stew to insure completeness of—YE€YEs€$h of all churches in
the Inventory of the Church Archives of Tennessee being issued in ds~
nomiEEEYoHET*€$idEEs'E§*€EE`TEHE€s§E6_Hi€Eor1o&i Records Survey. The
number assigned to this Dirscboryg 79, morsly indicates the alphabetical
position of Shelby among the counties of the Stats.
It is the nature of a directory to defy completion. The absence
of any similar listing, however, and the belief that such a directory
would be of value to students as a handbook have been additional factors
resulting in the issuance of this volumsq The churches, missions, and
religious institutions sro listed by denominations and local affiliations
together with their locations, dates of organizations, and the pastors¥
names and addresses. The preparation of this Directory involved sxamina—
tions of printed and manuscript church mjnutesT_§€5F?E$oks, city and
church directories, and institutional catalogues. Those were supplemented
by personal interviews with religious and institutional officials. Tha`
denominational lists were chsokod with members of the respective faiths.
Dsfunct as well as active churches are included; publications, boards,
and institutions of the denominations in Tennessee arc also indicated.
Shelby County is in the extreme southwest corner of tho State, and
is bounded by the State of Mississippi on the south, hhs Mississippi
River on the west. It is the most populous county in the Stabo, and its
ssst, Mémphis, is the State*s largest cityn Organized in lC20, Shelby
County was formod from a portion of the territory ceded to the United
States by the Chickasaw Indians.
This Directory was compiled by Work Projects Administration workers
under tho EE§€Y¥EE?bn of Robert Casssll, Church Archives Editor of the
Tennessee Survey; Msurino Cantrell, Milford R. Wheeler, Lillian K.
Williams and Aptgur E. Lackey rendered much assistance; the field work
in $hGlby County was conducted by Claude Andorson, Wosloy J. Lester, and
Olon Bostick, under the supervision of James E. Davis, District Supervisor.
This volume was prepared in accordance with instructions from the Washing-
ton office of the Historical Records Survey Program; detailed editorial
comment and criticism of tho book have been wade by Donald A. Thompson,
Assistant Archivist in charge of the Church Archives Inventorissa Typing
of the final draft and cutting of stencils were done by Helen P. Allen,
Edna M. Evans, Dosia L. Pearson, and Lois B. Wintcrsq

Preface
This volume is preliminary and is subject to revision. Corrections
and additional information are solicited and should be addressed to the
State Supervisor, 305 Davidson County Courthouse, Nashville.
A list of the publications of the Tennessee Historical Records -
Survey follows the indexes to this Directory. The publications of the
Historical Records Survey projects in all states are limited in number
and in consequence are placed in designated centrally located depositories.
Inquiries requesting the locations of the nearest depositories should be
addressed to the State Supervisors or to the Division of Community Service
Programs, Work Projects Administration, Washington, D. C., for attention
of the Director of the Historical Records Survey Program.
