=History=
The assembly at Grace Gospel Chapel in Memphis began in 1934 as Memphis Gospel Hall at the corner of Trigg and Azalea Streets, started by two itinerant preachers, one of whom was a Mr. Curry. The other may have been Dr. W.A. Jetter, who was listed as a contact in 1936. In 1951, it was renamed Grace Gospel Chapel and moved to 1591 Peabody; in 1958, the Christians sold that property and rented space at 10 S. Second Street.
In 1961, the assembly moved to its present location at 3680 Rhodes. Active in leadership have been A.W. Worley, Fred G. Chambers, Lee Tallent, Bob Chambers, Mike Blake, Russ Horn, Chris McCoy, Frank Buck, Louis Sides, Eddie Schwartz, and Gordon Humphreys. Grace Gospel Chapel has commended several to the Lord’s work. About 55 adults and youngsters are were in the assemblyin the latter years when Peterson did his research. The assembly closed around 2008. =Addresses=* Trigg & Azalea Streets 1934-1951* 1951 Peabody 1951-1958* 8 and/or 10 S. Second St. 1958-1961* 3680 Rhodes 1961-2008+ =Correspondents=* Dr. W.A.
