We are a fellowship of believers who seek a closer walk with the Lord. We’ve experienced His love and forgiveness. Because He changed our lives, we want you to know Him, too. We want to help everyone who comes here to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

What To Expect

It’s our desire that you will come and feel at home. As a body of believers, we actively participate in corporate worship where we experience the richness of God’s presence. We affirm our commitment to Him through worship, study, fellowship, and discipleship.

We promote spiritual and social responsibility through all our ministries, and recognize that through our service, we experience the love of Jesus in our lives and demonstrate it to people and our community.

A Church with a Message

The Message Community Church was organized in 1940 as the Jackson Park Pentecostal Holiness Church, a member church in the Cornerstone Conference of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. With a 75-year heritage in Kannapolis, North Carolina, our foundation was laid years ago, but The Message, the story of our Jesus our Redeemer, is timeless, relevant, and unbounded by either location or denomination. We have a rich history and the audacity to believe we have an even brighter future that we invite you to share.

Being a part of this church is more than attending a Sunday service. It’s hearing the Message, connecting with others, building a strong foundation for yourself and your family, creating lasting relationships, and growing in your walk with the Lord. Be a part of The Message.

Mission Statement

Our mission is simple; reach as many people for Christ as we can and take as many people to heaven with us as we can!
