North Carolina Church Concludes Ministry
MATTHEWS, NC (March 4, 2005) - Church of the Saviour concluded its ministry by
holding its final worship service February 20.
Carol Bob, retired Evangelical Covenant Church missionary and a member
of the 24-year-old church, wrote about the event for the Southeast
Conference website stating, "Several of the original charter members
attended and some spoke of the blessings received at the church. There
were also people present from the prison where some of the members have
ministered."
Church of the Saviour – located in a suburb of Charlotte - was founded
in 1980. Chuck Thomas was the pastor of the church. According to
Southeast Conference Supt. Kurt Miericke, the corporation will stay open
for at least a year.
Earlier this winter, another Covenant congregation, Deerbrook Community
Covenant Church in Kingwood, Texas, had its final worship service. The
Houston area congregation was founded in 1987 and had an average worship
attendance of 62, based on last year's Covenant Yearbook statistics.
