Locust is a rural but fast-growing area with great schools, affordable living, and an easy drive to Charlotte. These factors have brought a wave of new people into our community, with over 1,000 new homes being built within 10 miles of our church over the next several years. Mission Church began a building campaign in March of 2026 to address immediate needs and ensure we’re ready to welcome all the new people moving into our community.
