Description of Organization

Formed in 1982, Charlotte Chinese Baptist Church (CCBC) held its early gatherings at Shamrock Drive Baptist Church. As the church grew, many lifted up prayers for a suitable site and witnessed God's gracious hands at work. In 1994, God sent Hearts and Hammers volunteers, a ministry of Independence Hill Baptist Church. Through their loving help and hard work, the phase I church building was completed in 1994 and phase II in 1997, both miraculously in one week. Continuously guided by God, in 2012, the phase III church building was completed and English Sunday Worship was started.

As a spiritual family, our prayer is to be "like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither." (Psalm 1:3) On Sunday, through prayer meeting, Sunday School, and Sunday Worship, we pursue God's heart and enjoy His presence; through fellowship lunch and after-lunch activities (choir practice, Chinese School, sports ......), we interact and build up each other.God is the only answer to the pursuit for eternity or hunger for love. God loves every one of us and longs for us to become His children again. If you have not heard the Good News, if you have questions about it, if you would like to join this calling, if ...... It does not matter what follows the if. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) Please keep seeking. We sincerely invite you to share the journey of love with us.
