"I was first introduced to SouthPark Christian Church (SPCC) in 2009 by a long-term member. My initial impression was the congregation was very friendly, but I thought it was because of the member that I knew. During future visits the welcoming atmosphere continued, and I learned more about the commitment that the congregation and leadership had for each member, each visitor, and the community. I became a member of SPCC in 2011 because the Members won my heart and spirit. Every member is truly committed to SPCC’s mission, “A Spirit-Filled Christian Family, Supports Every Member, a Community Center Through Spirit-Driven Outreach.” Through Sunday School, Book Club & small groups I have had the opportunity to explore my own beliefs and expand my understanding of the Bible and the Christian Church. Because of SPCC’s strong dedication to the individual and the community, I have had many chances to participate in sponsored food drives, collections of supplies for the students, classroom, and teachers at adopted schools, projects to feed those in our community that are hungry and without homes, work with local residents that are involved in community service program, plus so many other activities. During all this time I’ve had lots of fun with the members and community residents at SPCC, planned gatherings at Christmas, S’mores parties, movie nights, VBS, community gardening, retreats to Christmount Conference Center, monthly potluck dinners and many more fun & laughter parties. I've gotten to know other Charlotteans because of their membership in local groups & organizations that routinely utilize SPCC for programs, ongoing meetings, & social functions. When I moved to Charlotte, I knew one person then I was introduced to SPCC members. Now all these “members” are my Friends that I pray, study, work, plan, & laugh with every week. Even though my Children, Grandchildren, and Sisters live in other states, members of SouthPark Christian Church are now part of My Family."
