I'm a 64 yr old, dyed-in-the-wool Lutheran woman. I attended Lutheran schools, a very old fashioned Lutheran church, taught Sunday School, sang in the choir and was raised in a very traditional Midwest environment. Moving to NC from MI in 2012 meant finding a new church home. NOT an easy undertaking. Upon my first visit to Elevation Church, I needed earplugs and sunglasses as I was completely overwhelmed. BUT, two things happened that day. The friendliness of not only the greeters, but of the congregants made a huge positive impression. Secondly, the message given by Steven Furtick stayed with me day after day. THAT had never happened for me in all my church-going years. Fast forward nine years ... if I can't be there in person, I watch Steven Furtick on TV, on YouTube and website. I have all the Elevation Worship music downloaded as my go-to playlist. I've forwarded Pastor Furtick's series for couples "Fix Your Focus" (2016) many times to friends who are going through a rough patch in their marriage. Anyone that knows me understands the phrase "drop(ing) the plank" (from the 3rd Sunday in the series, I think) and uses it regularly. I am a different Christian woman these days -- more patient, more understanding, more loving. Most importantly, I have a very real relationship with God. I no longer keep my worship in a box, only opened on certain days. These things are, in a very large part, due to all that Elevation offers. BTW, earplugs and sunglasses are no longer part of my worship, literally and metaphorically.

I never intended to go to Elevation Church, but the moment I walked in the doors the "mega church"…read morefelt small! Every single person was so welcoming! Not to mention the worship is incredible!! After going a few times we decided to join an Egroup which is basically a small group and that made this church my home! I have never felt more connected in a church as I do here and I have been going to church my whole life! Don't listen to the rumors or your own thoughts that you wont even be seen in this church. I am SO glad I went and can't imagine doing life especially going through this pandemic without the wonderful people here!!

It you are new to the area give this church a try, they have a 9 am Sunday service that is a little more contemporary, and the 11 am is very traditional.

Mooresville campus is a huge church, but you can also join a small group to meet friends or couples. The theme is that everyone is welcome, so the atmosphere is laid back with casual dress. It's not a stuffy church, everyone is very friendly. The music is loud but also wonderful. This isn't your old school hymnal book music, so be prepared for that. The messages are always down to earth and relatable. The Cove is a wonderful church simply trying to spread God's word and to invite everyone in.

There is a wide variety of games and activities for children to participate in before and after each service, in addition to amazing teaching and preaching from the youth Pastors Kevin Smith (Kidz World) and Ryan Florke (Kidz Jr). These dynamic men of God break the message down so that the children will have a better understanding of biblical teachings. The staff at Kidz World and Kidz Jr are trained volunteers with caring hearts and a love for God and children. KIdz World & Kidz Jr is a place children look forward to coming to each week!

Th school is wonderful to I hand my kids there from k-8 and it's been a wonderful and pleasant experience with a early start time but an early end time so you have alot of time to do your home work and after schooo stuff. The after school program is amazing they have alot of this to do like playing video games, boing home work and playing outside.
