Our Vision...
to become a community of bold followers of Jesus, a crowd that effects good change for the world, a place known for radical love and welcome, and a beacon of hope in Center City Charlotte

As we gather as a community to worship, we each bring the celebrations and challenges of our daily lives. We bring our doubts and fears over the state of our world. Sometimes we struggle to find a place for our beliefs in the context of this world, and amidst the difficulties we sometimes face in our lives. And yet, we sing. We sing even when we are unsure. We begin by singing.
