Prior to writing this review I must admit I am a tad bit partial to Hickory Grove. Since birth I…read morehave been an active member of this church family. It has become my second home. My family has grown up in the church, and for that reason so have I. I stand behind the biblical principles and missions of this establishment and will continue to support this church and church family. Hickory Grove has become so much more to me over the years. Hickory Grove was my High School, my first job, my gym, my weekend hangout, Hickory Grove is my family. It was here that I received my diploma, outstanding education, and became a proud member of their graduating class of 2008. Around that same time Hickory Grove provided me with two of my first jobs and taught me responsibility, professionalism all in a safe environment. And when I needed to blow off some steam or just wanted to hangout with my friends Hickory Grove's Family Life Center was the place I'd be. I've never felt more love and support, and genuine compassion from a church family than I have at Hickory Grove. So if you and are your friends are searching for a caring new church home, or are seeking affordable private schooling for your children, or even looking for a great athletic community and gym to get involved in I strongly recommend you give Hickory Grove Baptist a try. You won't be disappointed my yelping friend. :)

Hello; I have had several episodes with this church group,…read moreand they have done some good in their works, but in many instances they are a business and have no use for the scripture of the real New Testament. They are also huge and old money which goes straight to indignation and condemnation when told no. They presume authority based on their clout and their bullies; and care nothing for the scripture. They are dedicated to old south ways and getting their way. And they buy influence and loyalties all over Eastern Charlotte and the Lake Norman area. But, they also want loyalty for their investment. One of their pastors kind'a bragged once that they aren't real good at the pastoring thing; and worse dealing with demonic, so they stick to the show and hustling people to baptisim. Their fruit is development of property which is good for the community, but all the development can't make up for one rolled lip ole money man denying the doctrine of Jesus Christ if it doesn't fot their bottom line and costing a soul or their church, 2Jn 9 ?

Saying that, I've never been to a church like Have Life before. It's real, impactful, loving, and welcoming with a great foundation. You get what you're supposed to get from church without the extra or stiffness. The production of the worship experience is amazing and the talent/annointing this church has from the singers, musicians, praise and worship leaders, church organization/leadership and pastors is mind blowing. Seems to be a hidden jewel of Charlotte that is definitely worth a visit.

It fosters community and individual growth in every sense. This church has a ministry for every facet of life and an outreach for every challenge anyone could face. This church loves the community, and they are is so incredibly active in it. There are ministries, niceties and novel approaches to minister to everyone. The church is diverse and reaches out to accommodate every person who walks through the doors. The services are short enough without being skimpy. Approximately 70 minutes including praise and worship. Also, unless there is an occasional outreach being collected for, the plate only goes around once. There are three services each Sunday to accommodate worship for every lifestyle. Services are offered throughout the week to enrich and engage. Come here families, married, single... Older, younger and everything in between. You will be spiritually fed, you will be offered rich fellowships and community roots, and you will not be bored.

If you're looking for a church that has a come as you are policy and will receive you unconditionally CFA is the place! For those of you who have children in grades 1dt through 5th I urge you to come by Kidz World for a tour and meet the staff there (60 Concord Pkwy N next to big lots)! Your children will have the experience of a lifetime while they learn more about God family friends! There's a caring staff, alter time, praise and worship and interactive games and activities for the children before and after service. There are two services on Sunday mornings 9:15am and 11:15am, and a service on Wednesday evenings at 6:45pm. Kidz World is an amazing place! I wish church was like this when I was growing up!

I am not anti-social, I have been Roman Catholic for my entire life. It is one Church throughout the entire world, this is just another location that we celebrate the mass in. I will introduce myself when I want to meet new people and get involved. I don't want to be recruited. I am a lifer. There are no fees to join this church, some Catholic churches have a welcome packet and dinner they charge you for. That concept was new to me but it happened in Virginia. The homilies aren't all downloaded off the internet, that is a big plus for me. Not that we don't have good homilies on the internet, but sometimes you hear the same one twice and if you have a good enough memory where you remember hearing nearly the exact homily four years ago. I have that kind of memory.
