Our Ministry

C.U.P. Ministry was started in 1986 by several area churches as a way to meet the growing needs of the surrounding community. Over the years, CUP has grown to the point where the doors are now open to anyone that comes in search of help, no matter where they may call home. Our food pantry exists to give food and clothing to the homeless, the bound, the working poor, as well as those going through a crisis and need one-time assistance. We also try to find open doors for other types of assistance as well by connecting clients with resources in the Charlotte area. Throughout Scripture, God took what seemed small to the human eye and blessed it beyond measure. Over the first six months of 2008, we have watched as God has blessed and multiplied the resources we have.Our prayer is to be found faithful with everything God has entrusted us with, and to lift up the name of Jesus Christ in all aspects of the ministry.

With God’s leading, the doors were opened at CUP for church services to be held every Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm. We have watched as God has brought people from all walks of life together to spend time in His Word. Everyone is welcomed as we come together for a time of worship in His house.

As we continue to seek God’s direction in His ministry, we are seeing Him send many people in search of ways to help. God used one of those individuals to provide a new parking lot for the ministry by transforming the back portion of the property into an area that will now hold many of the vehicles that we see come every time the doors are opened.

We are constantly trying to find more space to temporarily store the food and clothing that He continues to provide. We are believing Him for an addition to the current building that will not only house more food for our food pantry, but also allow us to expand our office space to help us serve more of the people that we are seeing come for help. The lines continue to grow, and we want to be able to serve as many of these as possible with the love of Christ, both in word and deed.

God’s hand has been evident in all aspects of the ministry, and we look forward to see what He has planned in the coming months.

Come be a part of a testimony !
