Mecklenburg Community Church, more commonly referred to as “Meck,” is a church physically located in Charlotte, NC and virtually located through our Online Campus. Here at Meck, we believe church isn’t about religion, but instead a relationship with Jesus. Whether you are just exploring, ready for something new, or don’t know where to begin, we are here for you.
