Rev. Terrance L. Culp & First Lady Adrianne Jackson-Culp
OUR PASTORAL HEART
Love Is More Than What We Preach. It's How We Lead.
At Perfecting Love Charlotte, love isn't simply a message we proclaim on Sundays. It's the foundation of how we serve, how we lead, and how we build community.
For Rev. Terrance L. Culp and First Lady Adrianne Jackson-Culp, ministry is about more than standing before people. It's about standing together, walking alongside others, and creating a community where people can encounter the transforming love of God.
We're not interested in pretending to be perfect. We're committed to loving people, growing in grace, and making room for others to do the same.
Because at the heart of everything we do is one simple truth: We love because God loves us.
Give Church a Chance Again
You don't have to figure all of that out before you come.
Maybe you love God but you're not sure how you feel about church.
Maybe you've been hurt by it. Maybe you've been away for years.
Maybe you've never really felt like church was built with someone like you in mind. Or maybe you're simply looking for a community where you and your family can grow.
Perfecting Love Charlotte isn't asking you to pretend, perform, or have all the answers.
Come as you are. Bring your faith. Bring your questions. Bring your family. Bring your whole self.
We'll meet you there.

This Sunday
Where are we worshiping this Sunday?
Our Sundays follow a steady rhythm: worship on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th Sundays, with the 4th Sunday set aside as a Sabbath Sunday.
No in-person worship this Sunday.
Your attendance matters, but your rest matters, too.
This is our fourth-Sunday Sabbath. There is no in-person corporate worship, and no rehearsals or required ministry activities. Sabbath Sunday is an intentional part of our church culture, not a cancelled service or a sign that anything is wrong.
BELONGING
You don't have to perform to belong.
At Perfecting Love Charlotte, we believe people have value because they're people — not because of what they can do for the church.
- •You don't have to sing.
- •You don't have to serve.
- •You don't have to give to be treated with dignity.
- •You don't have to know when to stand, shout, clap, or say amen.
During our worship experience we have a time called Belonging. Some people hug. Some shake hands. Some wave. Some take selfies. Some simply enjoy the moment from their seat. Physical interaction is never required. You decide what belonging looks like for you. Come receive. Come learn. Come grow. And when you're ready for something more, we'll be here.

Bring your Bible.
And bring your brain.
We believe serious faith can handle serious questions. At Perfecting Love Charlotte, Scripture is taught with theological depth, cultural awareness, practical application, and room for honest questions. You don't have to choose between thinking deeply and believing deeply.
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth."
— Psalm 100:1
WHO WE ARE
Rooted in Black faith.
Open to everybody.
Perfecting Love Charlotte is unapologetically Black and intentionally welcoming to all people. Our preaching, worship, theology, music, humor, history, and community are shaped by the Black church tradition. We don't believe welcoming everybody requires us to erase who we are. Whatever your background, if you're looking for a community where people are taken seriously, Scripture is taken seriously, and love is more than a slogan — there's room for you.

Meet Pastor TerranceDISCIPLESHIP
Love God.
Love others.
Love yourself.
What does discipleship look like to us?
If someone spends years at Perfecting Love Charlotte and never becomes particularly "churchy," but leaves loving God more deeply, loving other people more radically, and loving themselves more healthily — we believe something holy has happened.
That's the kind of community we're building. Family by family. Person by person.
