“Memphis ChoralArts is deeply grateful to Christ City Church for graciously allowing us to use their beautiful reception hall for our recent all‑members meeting. The space was immaculate and perfectly suited to our needs. As a nonprofit organization, finding an affordable venue that can accommodate our full membership is invaluable, and Christ City provided exactly that. We are especially thankful to Mandy for her kindness and assistance in ensuring that everything was in place for a successful gathering. Thank you, Christ City, for your generosity and support!”
