Freedom School Partners (FSP) believes every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy of reading and the confidence to shape their future. Through a six-week summer program, FSP combats learning loss in Charlotte by serving K–8 students who need it most. In partnership, our mission is to inspire scholars to love reading and learning, believe in themselves, and create extraordinary futures. But we can’t do it alone. Volunteers are at the heart of Freedom School.

Beatitudes: WWJD?

What does it really mean to be happy? At Vacation Bible School this summer, children, youth, families and adults are invited to discover that Jesus’ answer to this question is a little different than what the world tells us. Through the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, children will explore how being kind, gentle, brave and showing mercy as peacemakers leads to a joy the world can’t offer. Alongside one another, we’ll learn how trusting God, especially in tough moments, brings blessings beyond what we can see.

We encourage parishioners of all ages to join in this week together! Children who are four by 8/31/2026 through rising 5th graders for the 2026 – 2027 school year may attend VBS. Children who are six weeks old through three-year olds may attend Mini VBS Nursery Care. Youth entering 6th grade through college can volunteer to be teen helpers. Adult volunteers (21+) can serve in a variety of roles. Dropoff each day is at 9 am in All Saints’ Hall and pick up at 12 pm in classrooms.

We require that campers who are not members of Christ Church be joined for the week by a parent or another caregiver as a 4-day volunteer.

Are you looking for a chance to connect and share a conversation? Worth a Listen is built around a simple idea: spend an hour with a podcast episode beforehand, then spend an hour listening to each other. It’s an opportunity for good conversation, thoughtful reflection, and a chance to laugh together. We’ll begin with an episode of The Anthropocene Reviewed entitled “You’ll Never Walk Alone & Jerzy Dudek.” No expertise needed and barely any homework; just curiosity and a willingness to join the conversation. Contact Allen Pruitt at pruitta@christchurchcharlotte.org with any questions.
