As a YELP Elite member, I realize the importance of honest, candid, informative and unbiased…read morefeedback in each evaluation. "Where" we choose to worship, I believe, involves even deeper scrutiny. This is why its been almost a year of consistent attendance and/or interaction here before I chose to write about ICC - aka- Island Community Church. When I first moved to Memphis almost a year ago...i knew noone...and had no church connections locally. I visited numerous churches, large and small trying to find the best fit for my church "family". From my first visit here at ICC, I was greeted multiple times in that visit, and made to feel genuinely welcomed ...at the end of the service a group prayed for me. and my adjustment from LA to Mem..I cried. BUT, I wasnt convinced yet that "this' was the place for me. So I kept wandering...sound familiar? So on the weeks i went back...i always felt "special", a few people I had met previously always took a moment to say hi...the Pastor knew my name, and often a member or Pastor Barrett, gave me a hug...Only by the grace of God would they know how much I needed that. Their message is Bible based, the uncompromised Word of God, Pastor Barrett has an energetic, passionate, powerful and fresh preaching style. The music is upbeat and contemporary...and everyone can participate. The congregation is overall a younger demographic with a true heart for God, service and mission evangelism. Although each week you will see and meet ALL ages! When I unexpectedly was hospitalized...Pastor's Barrett and Rob, were the first people at my bedside in the middle of the night with chicken soup and a phone charger...two necessities when you find yourself in an healthcare emergency! During my lengthy recovery, kind souls from ICC, whom I didnt know, showed up at my door with freshly baked breads, soups, lasagna, drinking water, desserts (just to name a few).. I ramble on because the " point is " ... ICC is now "home" to me. WHY??? Because they are not just a room of pretty faces, great music, a powerful message and awesome coffee and morning donuts, etc...ICC WALKS THEIR TALK! ..and thats both refreshing and rare. They are living examples daily of WWJD...(What Would Jesus Do) Check us/them out...they/we wont disappoint

I've been going here since I moved to Memphis, and here are the good and bad of the synagogue. And…read moreother tips to keep in mind when you go to the shul. Good: 1. Rabbi Finkelstein- Rabbi Finkelstein is one of the most helpful and kind rabbis I have ever met. He has helped me so much since I have moved here. If you need help with Jewish practice or need a place for Seder etc, ask him and he will help. 2. The chazzan has a good voice. Having a chazzan with a good voice makes going to services a lot better. 3.The Annual Kosher Barbecue- A yearly event that is a blast to go to. Even a vegetarian like me can go and enjoy themselves. If you do eat meat, you get to taste some good barbecue that's Kosher. 4. People are friendly. I'm Goth, so finding a shul where people do not make rude comments about my appearance is hard. The people here are not rude to me whatsoever. In fact, they are some of the kindest people you will meet in Memphis. Bad: 1. Not the best place to be if you aren't part of a family or aren't staying with a family- The synagogue is really meant for families . There are not a lot of services available for people who aren't part of a family. I've been to synagogues where you can light Shabbos candles in the synagogue and where they have Shabbat dinners every week. They don't really have that here except for on special Shabbat nights. I am a single college student. I have had people host me for Seder and Shabbat and holiday dinners before. However since they don't have services for people who are living on their own or do not have the ability to have things such as Shabbat dinner on their own, I often am out of luck. If things like that are very important to you, I would suggest looking at another shul. 2. The chazzan is slow- The chazzan seems to pick the slowest melodies he can for the prayers. He may have a good voice, but it makes the services last a little too long. And on Yom Kippur this is torture. Things to keep in mind: - This shul is Nusach Sefard. The prayers and customs reflect this.
