A retirement community that celebrates Pride.🌈 Because inclusion matters at every age.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We loved seeing so much support and joy throughout our Pride Walk & Celebration. Big thanks to One Voice Chorus of Charlotte for the beautiful, meaningful music and to 876 Delights for the amazing Jamaican food!

I also want to share a powerful phrase I overheard from one of our residents during the walk: “Be careful who you hate, because it just might be someone you love.”

Our Story

The genesis of Southminster is a rather incredible story. Two long-standing churches in Charlotte, Christ Episcopal and Myers Park Baptist joined together to successfully launch a premier ecumenical, non-profit, retirement community. After years of research, planning, and the generous contributions of many, in 1987, the “impossible dream” became a reality with the ribbon cutting of what was considered at the time one of the most upscale retirement communities in the nation. The community was an immediate success meeting pent-up demand. Now as an independent 501c(3) organization governed by a board of directors comprised of community and civic leaders, Southminster has been a stable example for over 30 years of responsible stewardship and ministry. Books could be written full of wonderful stories of multiple generations of residents creating memories, forging lifelong friendships, and living full and productive lives.

With Southminster’s recent expansion and renovations, Southminster continues to meet the needs of its residents and those yet to come. With high-demand, larger, more spacious homes, a modern fitness center (with indoor pool), and unparalleled amenities, Southminster continues to set the bar for what retirement living should be. Offering a full continuum of care and a commitment to the highest level of service, Southminster continues the tradition of defining the exceptional retirement experience.

Southminster is a member in good standing with Leading Age, formerly known as the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) and its state chapter, the North Carolina Association of Non-Profit Homes for the Aging (NCANPHA).
