Mission
Looking to grow in your faith, navigate dating, and meet other singles in Charlotte? You're invited to Cultivate CLT! Cultivate CLT is a city-wide singles event for 20s and 30s featuring three short teaching sessions, live worship, interactive Q&A, and two fun social hangouts.
Whether you're single, dating, or somewhere in between—if you're unmarried, this is for you. We'll dive into biblical teaching on love and relationships, with plenty of time to connect and build community. The social time is actually longer than the teaching, so come ready for both meaningful content and real conversation.

What Others Are Saying
Hear from past attendees who experienced transformation at Cultivate CLT
The talks were so encouraging and helpful to rejuvenate my soul. I feel like they were very thought out.
The single, Christian community was SEEN and others felt the need to pour into the unique ache that that season can bring at times.
The preaching put relationships in a new, beautiful perspective for me and showed me how to go about dating in a biblical way.
