was closed by the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina on Sunday, November 9, 2008 just short of her seventh birthday and in the midst of the current recession. A core from the Beloved community has worked with the clergy and lay leadership of St. John Episcopal Church to create a new worship opportunity for that congregation. Know as Living Water @ St. John's, it meets each Sunday at 8:45am in the Parish Hall of St. John Episcopal Church (1623 Carmel Road, Charlotte). You are invited to explore a spiritual relationship with God at this wonderful new opportunity!
Derek and Clifford King Harbin are presently serving at St. Andrew Episcopal Church as they each await new calls. This wonderful community, that worships Sunday mornings at 10:30am, is located at 1303 North 12th Street in Bessemer City...only 30 minutes from Charlotte! You are invited to explore a spiritual relationship with God among this wonderful community of faith!

Believe this simple truth: God loves you, no matter who you are. No matter how you have lived your life. No matter your age. No strings attached. At Church of the Beloved, we believe in God's transforming love and we believe God's Spirit working through us can give life meaning and purpose. Our greatest desire is that you experience how much God loves you and wants to be a part of your life.
