Visiting?

Charlotte's First Baptist Church is located in the heart of uptown. Whether you are about to visit for the first time or the tenth time, we have been preparing for you! We have made every effort to make sure your visit with our church family is enjoyable and rewarding.

Parking

We have parking that is right in front of the main entrance as well additional parking located in the deck, at the corner of 3rd and Davidson.

Welcome Center

From the minute you arrive, we have greeters with smiling faces waiting to assist you and your family with whatever need or question you may have.We don't just tell you where to go, and hope you find what you are looking for; we will personally escort you and/or your family to our childcare wing, a small-group Bible Fellowship class, or to a great set of seats for you in our Worship service.

Care for your Children

For guests with preschool children, we provide a nursery where your children will be well taken care of in a caring learning environment specifically tailored to their age. We take security seriously as well and use an ID badge system for child drop-off and pick-up. A greeter will connect with you on your arrival and escort you through all of the "newness" and answer any questions you may have.

What to Expect in Worship

Our services are designed to be worshipful and God-honoring. Praise songs, prayer, hymns, and special music help prepare our hearts for the message from our Pastor, Mark E. Harris. While the entire congregation has a time to greet each other and welcome our guests, at no time will we embarrass you or specifically identify you as a "visitor."

About First Charlotte

First Baptist Charlotte’s mission is to glorify God and make disciples by Inspiring Hope and leading the people of metro Charlotte to Living a Life That Matters.

We believe there are clear markers for a believer to look for to evaluate their spiritual life:

  • Am I pleasing God? Join Him through Worship and find out!
  • Am I closer to God today than yesterday? Grow your walk through study of His Word!
  • Am I a 2 am friend? Connect with fellow believers and form real and meaningful relationships!
  • Am I giving it away? Serve others with the gifts God has given you!
  • Am I leaving a footprint? Impact the world around you.
