Mission
Serving Others
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of
the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' - Matthew 25
-
...whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and
whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
-
For even the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." -
Mark 10:43-45
Note: When dropping items in
the Mission Mangers, please clearly mark what organization they're to be
given to. Currently, the two Mission Mangers on either side of the
Sanctuary (one on the Admin Wing and one on the Education Wing) are
earmarked for the Men's Uptown Shelter and Crisis Assistance Ministries.
Thank you!

Dish Dinners at the Dove's Nest
Quail
Hollow will prepare and deliver the evening meal the last
Wednesday of each month for the Dove's Nest, the women's program
of the Charlotte Rescue Mission. We'll fix for 15 at the home
of Becky Aelick, the church, or your own home, for delivery that
afternoon to their East Blvd. location where they can re-heat it
for dinner. We'll provide a meat or vegetarian entree, salad or
vegetable, bread, and dessert each month. If you have a special
something you like to make, especially desserts, please let
Becky know. If you can't cook but want to help, grocery store
gift cards are always welcome as is your time/car for delivery.
Men and children are welcome to help prepare the meal, but
ladies only for delivery, please.

- Uptown Men's Shelter
QHPC Contact
Angie Clark through the Church Office
The Uptown Men’s Shelter is the only year round men’s shelter in
Charlotte. Its mission is to care for people who are homeless
and provide them with opportunities to rebuild their lives. The
shelter can house just over 200 men. The residents are screened
prior to admission. Some of them qualify for the transitional
program and are given training in such daily life skills as food
preparation and paying bills, and job training to prepare them
for a life off the streets. The goal of the transitional
program is to channel the residents into permanent housing and
permanent employment. Some require medical, dental, or
psychological intervention. These services are provided on site
at the shelter or arrangements are made for the residents to
receive them in the community. As you can see, the shelter
provides not only a bed, but also a variety of services.
