First Assembly Christian school (FACS) is a private, college preparatory Christian school located in the Cordova section of Memphis, Tennessee. FACS was founded as First Assembly of God Christian School in 1972 to preserve white-only school in response to a federal court order requiring integrated schools. The school was initially located on Highland Street in Memphis before moving to Walnut Grove in Cordova.[2][3]
