Help us share the love of Christ by serving others throughout the Charlotte-Mecklenburg metro area on Saturday, May 30!
We need 400 partners and friends of Chosen City Church to participate in Mission Blitz 2026 - an event involving several simultaneous mission projects throughout Mecklenburg and surrounding counties. We encourage the Chosen City Church family to spread the love of Jesus outside the doors of our church to the underserved and unloved population of our area.
