Light of Christ United Methodist Church

About this church

Light of Christ United Methodist Church is a Reconciling congregation in Charlotte’s Ballantyne area that explicitly welcomes and affirms people across race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic circumstance, generation, documentation status, ability, and mental health. Its “Come, Grow, Go” framework links worship and fellowship with small-group formation and practical service. The church’s 2028 vision is to reflect Ballantyne’s diversity while becoming a source of hope and reconciliation.

Adult Grow Groups begin Sunday at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30 in person and online through Facebook or YouTube. Children from birth through fifth grade have a dedicated ministry, though the public page does not state a separate recurring class hour; families should ask whether programming accompanies the service on their chosen date. Light of Christ identifies itself as a mission church and directs ten percent of offerings to mission. Its documented partnerships include weekend food for Ballantyne Elementary students, an after-school and summer program that provides tutoring and meals, children’s homes in Honduras, and education and community development in Bayonnais, Haiti. The congregation also treats Grow Groups as a necessary complement to Sunday worship and offers both online and in-person options.
