As early as the late 1960's the need for another Presbyterian Church in this area was being envisioned by two sister churches in the north end of this county.  If you were not here at the time or even not born yet, you might not understand their reasoning.  This was the period of time in which the Lake Norman dam had been built and it waters had covered many beautiful farm homesteads, thousands of acres of land and created many prime shoreline properties.  Thousands of people and many developments had started their mass invasion of the area.  Population growth was up and running at full speed.

In the early spring of 1994, the McGee family was approached by the Presbytery of Charlotte concerning the possibility of purchasing some land for a new church development.  After much thought and prayer, Virginia McGee decided to sell 10 acres for this new church.  This was in July of 1994.

Closing date for the sale of land with Charlotte Presbytery was on January 9, 1995.  On this very day, Ms. Virginia looked the higher ups of Presbytery in the eye and said, "My daughter and I would like to volunteer to be your first two Charter Members of the new church."  On that day, she taught the true meaning of stepping out in Blind Faith. no church building, no pastor, no piano, no Bibles, no song books . just a tract of land. but she and her daughter made their commitment to a new church.

Late in the fall of 1995, Charlotte Presbytery hired the Founding Pastor of this new church.

On May 5, 1996 the first worship service for this church was held under a tent down near the road just on this side of our present church sign.  The reason for the tent was: Our 1^st Mobile Unit was on the site but those special folks known as building inspectors had not released the "permit for electrical power" . so we just moved outside and used the light of day.

By June of 1997, we had outgrown the 1^st Mobile Unit and a 2^nd Double-Wide was added to the site.  This was made possible thanks to one of our sister Charlotte churches.

On December 7, 1997 at 3:00pm with 103  members the Charter Service for this church was held and Meadowlake became the then newest member of Charlotte Presbytery.

In late August of 1999, at approximately 12:00 noon a bulldozer moved the 1^st scoop of dirt and the process of getting this building built had begun!  Per dictate of Charlotte Presbytery, the 1^st building had to be multi-purpose in nature. Worship Center/Fellowship Hall, Education Classrooms and Administrative offices.

On April 23, 2000 the very first Worship Service was held in our building.
