MEMBERSHIP
Ready to Make Perfecting Love Charlotte Home?
At Perfecting Love Charlotte, membership is not about earning access, proving your spirituality, or immediately finding something to do.
Membership is simply a way of saying: "This is the community I want to grow with."
You are welcome to worship, learn, ask questions, receive pastoral care, and experience community before you ever decide to become a member.
Full Membership
For those who consider Perfecting Love Charlotte their church home and desire to grow in relationship with our pastor, our church family, and the life and mission of the church.
Full Members participate in the spiritual and community life of Perfecting Love Charlotte and may participate in congregational voting when matters requiring a membership vote arise.
Watch Care Membership
For those who remain formally connected to another church or ministry but need a spiritual community, pastoral care, and a place to belong during a season of school, work, military service, relocation, extended assignment, or transition.
Watch Care Members are welcome to participate fully in worship, fellowship, discipleship, pastoral care, service, and community life. Watch Care Membership does not include congregational voting rights.
HOW MEMBERSHIP WORKS
Three Simple Steps
Tell Us You're Interested
Let us know you're considering membership. You do not have to have everything figured out.
Attend Our Pre-New Members Class
This is not a test or an audition. It is an honest introduction to who we are, what we believe, how we function, our ministry values, and what belonging to Perfecting Love Charlotte looks like.
Choose How You Want to Connect
After the class, if you still desire to connect, choose Full Membership or Watch Care Membership.
That's it. No unnecessary hoops. No pressure. Just an informed decision about where and how you want to belong.
Children & Families
Membership is for families too. Children age five and older may participate in an age-appropriate membership process if they desire to become members of Perfecting Love Charlotte.
You don't have to join before you belong.
Your value to Perfecting Love Charlotte is not determined by membership status, how much you give, how often you serve, or what gifts you bring.
Come. Worship. Ask questions. Build relationships. Grow with us. When you are ready to make the connection official, we'll walk with you through the next step.
