I have been a member of Forest Hill Church for about 5 years now and love it. It is the…read morelargest/main campus for the church, and it has a casual atmosphere, so jeans are fine, but you will see some people still dressed up a bit more. I love that you see a diversity of ages and families in the church. Services start with a time of worship- very contemporary with lights, screens to see the words, etc. Senior pastor David Chadwick preaches from the Word of God. And then the service closes with another worship song. The Southpark campus pastor, Jonathan Scott is also awesome and will preach when David is away, etc. The church has small groups called "Life Groups" and you can get connected at any time, but check the website for "Life Group Connect" where you can meet all the life group leaders and get plugged into a group immediately. There is a wonderful children's ministry during the service and middle school/high school meet Sunday nights for what is called "Advance" If you are visiting or new to the church, stop by the info booth and they will answer any questions you have.

I love my church. My wife and I have recently become members after a few months of consistent…read moreattendance. Our community of friends are associated with Forest Hill through our life group and we will be co-leading a new life group in a few weeks, something we are very excited about. When it comes to elements of value, the teaching is gospel-focused, intentionally grounded in the bible, and completely God-centered. The worship is reverent, fun, talented, and God-focused. There is a real sense of love for God and a desire for authentic community. Two things my wife and I must have in our choice of a local spiritual family. If you are curious about faith and want to learn more about the truth Christianity claims, Forest Hill is a great place to start that journey.

Calvary Church has been our church home since 2009. Although we attended much smaller churches in…read moreother cities we are grateful for all that Calvary Church has to offer. The building is large but the people of Calvary are what make the church friendly and accessible. During the Sunday morning worship services I enjoy the soaring architecture in the sanctuary, the large choir and full orchestra. Dr. John Munro's messages are always Biblically based, intellectually stimulating and easy to listen to. Every week I am challenged to grow deeper in my walk with Christ. Calvary has a large and vibrant outreach within the church, in the local community and to the entire world. Being a part of Calvary Church gives us many opportunities to serve God in a large variety of ways. Calvary Church shows a deep desire to facilitate each member's walk with God through spiritual growth and using their talents in the best possible way. Whether you want to be a participant in one of Calvary's many outreach programs - check out the website! - join us for Sunday morning worship, Wednesday evening dinner, the Child Development Center or dive into full participation in the many groups available Calvary Church is a wonderful place to call home.

This is 1 of 2 locations for this church & although it may seem a little small & you might get…read morestuck in a basement overflow or in the lobby due to capacity - it is an amazing atmosphere to be a part of. It's something you don't want to miss. I visited this church a while ago when I first moved to Charlotte & ended up going elsewhere for a little while before being drawn back. They just take things so seriously and are pursuing the right things. It's all about Jesus & nothing else. Not a person, not fame, not size or money - it's all about lifting the name of Jesus and making him known in Charlotte. So if you're looking for a church that preaches the Bible and doesn't just teach self help, etc. This is the place for you for SURE. They also have an Independence Rd campus that will seat many many more people, so definitely look into that location too.

And they host a night of prayer every Tuesday that's always amazing. They have another campus at 6070 E Independence Blvd

Center City seems to advocate respect for worship and kind love, not oppressive rules -- but a will to follow God's desires. Everyone is welcome to partake in communion (or not if you're not there yet! again, I've never felt judged here) and the church is working hard to be a staple in helping the community. I've only been attending for a short time, but I've made many friends and enjoy and learn from every message. If you're new to Charlotte, curious to attend a new church, or are new to Christianity, these folks make the potentially nerve racking adventure a relaxed endeavor into learning about God and becoming part of the community. Sunday service is held at 10am at Elizabeth Elementary. OH and there's free coffee provided by Central Coffee (yum) and kids' classes (which also help parents focus better during the message!).

As an introvert, large crowds can be a lot for me, but I truly felt the Spirit of God, his presence. The people were kind, welcoming, and even prayed for me. Though I usually watch the 9:30 service online (since 2019!), being there in person felt like leaving family when I walked out the doors. Elevation is a place for everyone--the old, the young, and those in between. I'm still working on my concerns with large crowds, but I know I'll be back. I am hoping to one day meet the pastor and his wife. They are such wonderful people. For now, I'm grateful to keep worshiping online until I'm ready again. Elevation is truly a wonderful church home.

I don't typically review churches since religion is controversial without commentary. However,…read moreafter visiting and engaging in several fellowships over the past 20+ years of living in North Carolina, Watershed has found a home in my heart since 2011. Why? They don't pretend to have all the answers and they are comfortable with a God who is at times mysterious, frustrating, and hidden. Matt and Scott (co-pastors) share speaking duties and have remarkably crafted a relationship with God, their families, and each other that is transparent and void of internal competition. I like that. I rarely come away from their talks without something in which to wrestle. I take comfort in knowing I am both loved by God and encouraged to drop anchor and fish this spot I'm in a little longer. When I slow down, I've discovered it is there I might feel the tug on my line and hope there is something bigger on the other end (pardon the fishing metaphor). Watershed provides a platform for this to happen for me.

I attended a Sunday School class the next week and a woman on the class was over the top rude to me due to me being from up north- - the most non welcoming experience at a church of all time. I emailed and expressed some concerns and instead of receiving a reply- I notified the Executive Pastor Brian Johnsey- was viewing my LinkedIn profile multiple times across several days. I took a screen shot of that and emailed him asking if I could help him with anything- no reply. It was all really weird and uncomfortable. Today, after months, I received an email from the church. I reminded them who I was, my concerns and how it all hurt me. Their reply was to just be sure I don't think badly about the church- no apology, no asking about how I am from that experience- they just don't want to have a bad reputation. So disgusting.
