I am looking for a church in uptown Charlotte. I was raised Catholic but I am looking for a more contemporary christian church. I have attended Elevation a few times, I like it but it is a little big and sometimes the pastor is a little more focused on the student population. I really like the music and band. Also need a church with a good kids program (I have a 2 year old). Thanks in advance for the help.

The thing is, uptown doesn't have many families living there at all, so churces with childrens programs are not going to be very easy to find. I would highly suggest you go just a few minutes outside of uptown down Park Road to Forest Hill - they can be a bit like elevation with all the music but they cater more to families at that location
The worship leader of my church (Hope Charlotte, meets in University City) just ventured out to fulfill his plan of starting a church in Uptown Charlotte. He's just getting it started and I believe they're just about to start meeting. If the church reflects any bit of what David was for our church (which he also helped start up in September of 2008), it will be incredible. He's extremely talented as a musician which helps keep the distractions down during worship that a not-so-good musician can induce...and of course he's in tune with God...to the point where you may think he's somehow faking it at first--which couldn't be further from the truth.
The church's website is not yet launched, but you can contact him through his blog: daviddocusen.com
Give him a try...don't be scared by the newness or starting up of the church. I know it'll be great. I showed up to the first day Hope held service and was blown away. They've done this responsibly and taken notes on failed churches and what not to do (and also what TO do).
Message me if you want his phone number

I just started attending a non-denominational church in No.Da. called Watershed. Its been around for about 4 years, but just recently started at this location. Like I said, I've only been there a handful of times, but I like what I see so far.
Its a contemporary church, but there is still a heavy emphasis on the Bible and reading from it. They have a great kids program thanks to their large new building that has allowed it to expand. Its not too huge and not too small. Its a good option for anyone looking for a contemporary church near uptown. For what its worth, I commute from east of Mint Hill to attend on Sundays since their doesn't appear to be anything better out my way.

I second Forest Hill Church. Incredible music (similar to Elevation, but I like Forest Hill's better), and awesome messages. I also have attended Elevation a few times, and I also felt like the pastor at Elevation focused more on younger students and saving new souls (which is great, don't misunderstand me), but I needed an atmosphere that was also geared to those of us who have already accepted Christ and are looking to grow in our faith. Good luck!!
Has anyone been to City Church? Or Warehouse 242? Any feedback on those? I hate to church hop but I really want to find the right one for me and my family.
