SOJO Church at Gibson Mill and Multiply Church Concord: Service Times, Kids Ministry and How to Visit
Looking for a church home in Concord can feel like a lot of guesswork. This post looks at two congregations on the west side of the city, SOJO Church and Multiply Church Concord, with the plain details a family needs before a first Sunday: where they meet, when, what they offer children, and how to reach someone. For more help choosing, see our practical guide to finding a church in Concord.

SOJO Church: Now Meeting at Gibson Mill
SOJO Church started in November 2017 in the living room of Corey and Betsy Alley. Its first public service was held on February 24, 2019, in the cafeteria at Weddington Hills Elementary, and from October 2020 the church met on Union Street in downtown Concord.
On September 6, 2026, SOJO moved into the Kettle Room at Gibson Mill, 325 McGill Ave NW, Suite 148, Concord, NC 28027. The church says the new room has more than 400 seats. Sunday services are at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Corey Alley is lead pastor and Dan Conklin is campus pastor.
SOJO Kids meets during services, and the church has a youth director. A newcomer gathering called Discover SOJO meets on the last Sunday of each month right after the second service, with childcare. Services can also be watched online. The church phone is 704-918-4144.
Multiply Church Concord: In Concord Since 1958
Multiply Church Concord began in 1958 with 32 people meeting in a movie theater. Today it meets at Suite 5, 280 Concord Pkwy S, in The Village Shopping Center. The church says it is connected to the Assemblies of God fellowship, and its senior pastor is Dr. Douglas Witherup.
Sunday services are at 8:30, 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. Kids ministry meets every Sunday, and Multiply Youth serves students. The church lists the Cabarrus Dream Center as an outreach ministry, along with Concord Academy, a K-12 school and daycare. The phone number on the church's Google listing is 704-793-4740.
Corner Field Market: Free Groceries by Appointment
The food pantry in Multiply's building is Corner Field Market, run by the Cabarrus Dream Center, Multiply's outreach ministry, at 280 Concord Pkwy S, Suite 110. The Dream Center's Need Help page says the market is by appointment only. New shoppers sign up through the Plentiful app, and returning shoppers log in there to book a time. Plentiful lists distribution on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. Open slots fill up quickly, so check the app often. Questions go to the Dream Center office at (704) 413-7711, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ask what to bring when you book. Read more about the services inside the Cabarrus Dream Center.
Before Your First Sunday
Both churches post their service times online, and times can change, so check the website the week you plan to visit. Arrive 15 minutes early if you have children, since check-in takes a few minutes. If you use a wheelchair or walker, or need a seat near the door, call ahead and ask where to park and which entrance is easiest. Asking these questions is normal, and a welcoming church will be glad you did.
