LeVan McLain - Director of Women’s Ministry

When LeVan moved to Charlotte in 2012, she attended CCC her first Sunday in the city and has been here ever since. As a part-time staff member, she coordinates a diverse team of volunteers to engage and connect women with God’s word and each other.  She also serves as a Women’s Shepherd.

LeVan came to faith in high school when confronted by her deep need for a savior’s forgiveness. A couple of decades later, she experienced a new freedom and joy in the gospel and hasn’t stopped preaching it since. Her favorite scripture is Luke 15.

She has been in women’s ministry for nearly four decades - learning, teaching, discipling, mentoring, writing, and speaking. Trained as an artist, educator, board certified art therapist, and Trauma Healing Institute facilitator, she loves the intersectionality of women, creativity, healing, and the gospel.

What else does she love? Shared stories, her art space, lavender lattes, and a good laugh every day! LeVan and Pete have been married 35 years and have five children. Their son, Habtamu, is the only one still in the nest.
