If possible, please sign-up to let us know you're coming. Walk-ins are also welcome.

We hope to hear from many voices as possible across our community of faith so if you are able, please mark your calendars to attend one of these sessions.  They will be a time of meaningful connection.

If you are unable to attend a listening session and would like to share your thoughts on how you hope and imagine Covenant will continue to live into our vision you can share them via email at Envision@covenantpresby.org or mail at Covenant Presbyterian Church, ATTN: Envision, 1000 East Morehead St, Charlotte, NC 28204.

In addition to the opportunities listed above we are also working with various groups around the church (Middle and High School youth, SOS, our members living in retirement communities, etc.) to schedule sessions at times and in locations that work best for them.  If you are part of a small group at Covenant that would like to have an Envision facilitator come visit with your group you can send a note to Envision@covenantpresby.org.

Preparing for A Listening Session

Prior to attending a listening session or sharing your thoughts via mail or email, we encourage you to read our vision statement and think about the questions below:
