"With Christ at the Center"
“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which you were indeed called in the one body. And be thankful.” (Colossians 3:14-15)
We are a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship congregation located in the Cotswold neighborhood of Charlotte. Our guiding vision is to place Jesus Christ at the center of everything we do, both as a gathered community of faith and as individual followers of Jesus.
Restore & Renew
"So that a people yet to be born may praise the Lord." (Psalm 102:18).
Providence cares about people, and Providence people are good at building relationships, extending hospitality, and welcoming newcomers into our community of faith and onto our church campus. We know this because we experienced it ourselves when we first came to Providence.
But what about those people we don’t know— who have yet to set foot on our campus, or even have yet to be born?
Upcoming Events
Ministries
The missions and ministries of Providence are designed to give every person who attends our church a place to discover and live out their passion and calling as a follower of Christ.
In September, Providence welcomed author and prayer-bead artisan Kristen Vincent as our guest preacher. Following worship, Kristen led a Deepening Faith workshop where participants created their very own prayer bead chaplet. It was a meaningful event for all!

On Sunday, pets gathered at the gazebo to be blessed on St. Francis’ feast day. You can pray for and bless your pets and animals at home this week too! A verbal blessing and treat can be offered in your backyard,m or anywhere inside your home.
Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air, and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.

This month at Midweek, Providence hosted an intergenerational series called End of Life Preparation with Faith. We learned about making end of life decisions and how our advanced planning will assure that we get the care we would like as we make thoughtful choices. These sessions will be available on the Pastoral Care page of our website. We hope this will be a good starting point for discussion between you and those closest to you.
Thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise with us!
