Welcome to Saint Francis!
Grace and Peace in
the name of Jesus Christ! Saint Francis is a dynamic and
grounded community serving Christ and the surrounding area
through acts of worship, compassion, and teaching. We encourage
a sense of belonging and mutual service within our fellowship.
Family, youth and children's ministries; short and long-term
educational opportunities; and meaningful worship are all part
of our life together. Wherever you are in your life, or
whatever interests you may have, we have a place for you at
Saint Francis.
Worship Plus Two is a simple, reasonable invitation to
Christian Discipleship.
The wisdom is that it is up to us—as individual followers
of Jesus—to identify, embrace and commit to three specific
activities in our spiritual lives.
The common activity is Worship.
It is what we do together. By gathering Sunday
morning at Saint Francis, we take the first and most important
step in our call to discipleship.
In addition to regular worship attendance, we expect members to
commit to at least one area of spiritual development
such as a Bible study or a prayer circle and at least
one area of Christian service such as a unique or
ongoing mission opportunity.
There are many of these opportunities going on all the
time, some right here at Saint Francis and others at countless
sites in and beyond the city of
Charlotte.
