The Spiritual Heritage of Charlotte North Carolina

It's amazing when you take a closer look at the rich Spiritual Heritage of Charlotte, NC. There are so many ministries in this city! One couldn't think of Charlotte without thinking of it's native son, the Rev. Billy Graham. I can't wait to check out the new library that was just opened in his name! It's supposed to be awe inspiring. Many other great men of God and ministries have made Charlotte home as well. Derek Prince Ministries, SIM International (Serving in Mission), FIRE School Of Ministry, Gordon Conwell Seminary, Dr. Michael Brown's ICN Ministries, Norman Geisler's Southern Evangelical Seminary, and Rick Joyner's Morning Star Ministries just to name a few. This not to mention the seemingly countless churches of every stripe that meet faithfully many times each week. Vibrant new church plants are springing up all over the city like the multi-cultural Freedom House Church in the UNCC-University area, and Elevation Church of Charlotte. Charlotte is truly a great place to grow in your Christian faith. It's also a great place to raise a young family. If you are from this area, can you think of other ministries that I have left out? I know there are alot. Let me know about your favorites. If you have been thinking and praying of moving to this area, what are you waiting for? If we can be of any help, just give us a call!
