About Our Church


The Matthews Church of God is a multiethnic church with open arms, a smiling face, and a loving heart for all people.

We are a loving congregation in the beautiful city of Matthews, located just outside of the city of Charlotte, N.C.
We are affiliated with the Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee, which has over 8 million members in over 187 countries and is the oldest Pentecostal denomination in North America.

We invite you to come and worship with us and experience worship Pentecostal style and hear the Word of God preached the old fashion way by our Senior Pastor Bishop Rick D. Brackett.
