REALIFE is the high school ministry at Mecklenburg Community Church in Charlotte, NC. It's a place where students don't have to fake it. We're building a community where high school students can be known, be real, and be equipped to own their faith for themselves.
Every Wednesday night, students from across Charlotte come together for an experience designed around authentic community, live worship, and Bible teaching that speaks to the real stuff high school students are navigating today. No church background required. Just come as you are.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for a time to hangout with free food, games, music, and the chance to connect with friends and leaders who care about your life. At 7 p.m., We come together for worship and a message that meets students where they are. Every week, students break into SQUADS (small groups), where you can talk through real topics with others your age, led by leaders who genuinely care about you. We wrap up the night by 8:30 p.m.
Whether you've grown up in church or you've never stepped foot in one: You. Belong. Here.
Follow along with REALIFE on Instagram or on the Meck App for weekly highlights and what's coming next.
Parents, we want to partner with you! For details on what we're teaching, upcoming events, or how to get your student connected, email us at realife@mecklenburg.org.
