As state health officials warn against large gatherings throughout the holiday season, WCNC Charlotte has learned a local church is hosting a gathering that’s expected to bring out hundreds of attendees.
The United House of Prayer is hosting an event to honor the head bishop of the church.
Bishop CM Bailey, the leader of the entire House of Prayer franchise which is made up of close to 150 churches, is visiting the Beatties Ford Road location Saturday, Jan. 2, and Sunday, Jan. 3.
House of Prayer churches from all over the area are expected to bring in members by busloads.
“It’s going to be a large crowd It’s going to be at least 500 plus,” said a member who spoke anonymously and exclusively to WCNC Charlotte’s Billie Jean Shaw Thursday.
Back in October, the church on Beatties Ford Road hosted a week-long convocation event that drew thousands of members of the church from all over the country.
