Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a Southern Baptist megachurch pastored by Steven Furtick. The church was listed by Outreach Magazine as the second fastest growing church in the United States in 2008.[3] In 2007, it was listed by the same magazine as the eighth fastest growing church.[4]
Elevation is a multi-site church. Charlotte services are held in Providence High School, in Uptown Charlotte at the McGlohon Theatre, in Matthews at a renovated furniture warehouse, and most recently in the Charlotte suburb of Blakeney in a permanent facility. Elevation Blakeney was opened November 13, 2010, and will also serve as a performance arts center available for rental to the community.[5]
The church began as a church plant of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. As part of a church planting team, Furtick and six other families from Christ Covenant Church in Shelby, North Carolina, relocated to Matthews meeting in a local high school.[6] On February 5, 2006, the first Sunday worship service, 121 people attended. One year after it began attendance averaged 1,200 people. Average attendance for 2009 was over 5,000.[2]
