Why Do We Need Another Baptist Church in Concord?
Cabarrus County, just north of Charlotte, is in the top 15 most populated counties in North Carolina and the top 5 in terms of growth rate. Concord, the county’s central and largest city of nearly 100,000 people, is growing by over 2,000 residents per year. Businesses, schools, and housing developments are emerging all around the county, year after year.
However, local churches near Concord struggle to multiply as quickly as the population grows. In 30 years, the population of Concord and Cabarrus County has grown nearly 300%, while the number of evangelical churches has remained roughly the same. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed significant transfer growth in the Charlotte metro area, with droves of people moving in from more expensive and densely populated areas of the country.
The mission field is ready for spiritual harvest and needs more laborers (John 4:35, Matthew 9:37-38). Even though Concord is ingrained with much cultural Christian heritage, many more gospel-preaching churches are needed to keep reaching and disciplining the people God is bringing. Concord, and the whole Charlotte metro area, are ripe with opportunities to train and send disciples and advance God’s Kingdom.
