Amity Presbyterian Church confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and as the center of all that we are and all that we do. Our purpose is to be a vibrant, active witness to God's love for the world in Jesus Christ in the heart of Charlotte, NC, in the 21st century. Our desire is to discover what God is doing in our community and then join God in ministry to others in the name of Christ.

Mission in Action:
As the Church gathered by the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we seek:

• To be relevant to the culture in which we live, especially in the surrounding community.

• To be an embodied testimony to Christ in our approach to ministry to people of all ages, races, and socio-economic status.

• To be open to being transformed by Christ from a religious organization into the living Body of Christ willing to be creative in order to care for each other as well as to reach out to others in need.

Empowered and transformed by The Spirit of Christ, we share a life together of discovery, innovation, service, love and faith.

The land for the new church was donated by R. Boston Wallace to the Session on August 23, 1882 to be in trust to them only for use and enjoyment for such society or congregation of the Presbyterian Church as shall be hereafter organized for the purpose of worshiping and said ceremonies.

Amity was chosen as the name, since the meaning of amity is love and friendship. Reverend G. D. Parks was called as the first pastor.
