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.

The people God has already brought into our community feel like family ... so loving, caring, thoughtful, and growing. We're learning what God's already doing in our city and what role God uniquely has for us to play in Indian Trail, in Charlotte, and together with God's other churches in the area and around the world. We're pressing into the fullness God has for his church as all his ethnicities live in community together. And we're inviting God to guide our lives and hearts as he shows us how to follow him and love him more deeply. We love it. If you're already at a home church, you should probably stay there and do what God's got for you, but if you're ... (1) not currently with a church ... (2) been looking for a community of Jesus disciples ... (3) new to the Charlotte / Indian Trail area ... (4) recovering from being burned by church in the past ...

I got involved with Egroups (bible studies in person and on-line), volunteering at church and outreach, special events like the Women's Summit and Prayer nights, etc. Its my favorite church I've ever been to all my life!

I don't even know where to begin in this review. From the friendships I've made at this church to…read morethe work that has been done on my own soul, I feel like I owe this place and these people my very life. I came to this church deeply suspicious of Jesus and Christians, and now, I am a serious, card-carrying Jesus freak. This community has accepted me and all my junk, and I love these people like they are family. Pastor Jonathan Martin roams in his references from obscure 1st century theological texts to comic books to U2 lyrics - he is as entertaining as he is insightful in his preaching. It's the first time I'd ever experienced such a profound intellect in a pastor...I didn't have a lot of experience, so I don't mean to smack-talk anybody else's pastor - it was, however, new and refreshing for me to respect this pastor's intelligence as much as his spirituality...to respect his mind as much as I respect his heart. Renovatus is also home to Lisa Koons, who is the founder of the Charlotte 24-7 prayer center. I've never met a more powerful woman of God, and I am so grateful to have her insight in my life. She's helped me get through some junk I don't think I could have navigated without her. She'll do it for you, too. If, like me, you are at all Christ-curious, it's a great place to get your feet wet in the church world.

You realize that he's not rehashing evangelical broo-ha-ha, but really preaching from the heart. The church is Pentecostal, but you won't pass snakes or catch church ladies passing out in the Spirit. You will however learn about abundant life in Christ (SPOILER-FOLLOWING JESUS WASN'T MEANT TO BE TEDIOUS OR BORING), intimacy with God, and love for your fellow man. I'm finally part of something bigger than myself and my salvation. if you're a liar, dreamer, or misfit (this is the church's slogan BTW). you'll fit right in. There are tattooed and pierced dudes and dudettes, 20-30 something hipsters, adults with young children, and a few older adults. Come wearing jeans (cut-off below the knee, of course) or typical "church" attire, you won't feel out of place!

Our children attended the Wednesday night youth service, and as parents, we were truly impressed by…read moretheir experience. Having grown up attending church their entire lives, their biggest takeaway was that this youth program offers an incredible balance of meaningful biblical teaching and genuine fun. They left feeling encouraged, engaged, and excited to come back. My 14-year-old especially appreciated having a youth leader who was only a few years older than her. Seeing someone closer to her age confidently leading, teaching, and inspiring others made a real impact and helped the message feel relatable and authentic. The church itself is absolutely beautiful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk through the doors. I also had the pleasure of meeting both the pastor and his wife, and I have to say firsthand that Jaimie, the First Lady, is an absolute blessing and a breath of fresh air. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine spirit immediately made us feel welcome. It's refreshing to find a church that is so intentional about investing in its youth while also creating such a loving and inviting environment for families. We are grateful for the experience and look forward to returning.

Worth a look and better if your camera actually captures the images that you thought that you took. It is approaching its bicentennial soon enough. The marker has text on both sides. On the one, "This church was begun in 1834 as Antioch Chapel of Ebenezer Church under the leadership of Rev. John O. Richards on land of the Steales and Workmans, 3 mi. south of Rock Hill. Mission moved in 1858 to this site, obtained from A. T. Black and later paid for by Mrs. Ann Hutchinson White and J. Spratt White. The church was organized on Nov. 13, 1869, with forty-six charter members led by Rev. R. E. Cooper, pastor." On the other side, titled "Church Leaders" it reads "First ruling elders: J. F. Workman, H. H. Hart, R. D. L. McLeod. First deacons: Wm. Whyte, A. H. White, J. N. Steele, R. W. Workman, David Gordon. Three pastors have been moderators of the General Assembly, Presbyterian Church in the U. S.: Rev. W. T. Hall, Rev. W. L. Lingle, Rev. Alexander Sprunt. The longest pastorate has been that of Rev. Francis W. Gregg, 1910- 1947." The church is on Main Street near downtown Rock Hill and is worth a stop. The current structure was built in 1894 and was added to the National Register in 1992.
