ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Founded in 2009, the Charlotte Fellows Program is a nine-month Christian leadership development and training program for young adults recently out of college or graduate school. Each year, a group of young professionals come together from many walks of life to learn about and prepare for the unique calling God has on their lives. The Charlotte Fellows Program seeks to build up leaders in the church while serving the city of Charlotte. Check out the “Week at a Glance” below to get a glimpse into the life of a Charlotte Fellow.
