Church of Jesus Brotherhood Outing

The Church of Jesus Brotherhood Outing is a 1-day event where a group of men—Christian and alike—come together for an overnight trip to Charlotte to enjoy an NBA game, fellowship, and meaningful connections. This annual tradition offers an opportunity for men to build friendships, enjoy great company, and strengthen bonds in a way that reflects the values of godly men. For five years before COVID, this event was a highlight for our brotherhood, drawing friends from various churches to foster camaraderie, share in uplifting fellowship, and create unforgettable memories.

Capturing Moments From Past Events

Church of Jesus Brotherhood Outing History

The Church of Jesus Brotherhood was born in 2013 from the heartfelt desire of a few men to honor their Pastor in a special way. It started with a simple idea: take our Pastor to see the Los Angeles Lakers in Washington, D.C. It was to be a surprise, a gesture of appreciation. However, as it turned out, our Pastor had already scheduled a cruise during that timeframe. Determined to make it happen, we began looking for other games nearby. As fate would have it, the Lakers were playing in Charlotte, and our Pastor’s schedule was clear.
 
With this newfound opportunity, a small group of 3-4 brothers began planning the trip. What started as a small outing quickly grew as we extended an invitation to other men who enjoyed sports and fellowship. To our surprise, 19 men confirmed their interest in attending, and we moved forward with finalizing the arrangements.
 
It was during these final preparations that the event took on a life of its own. A representative from the venue asked the coordinator if he had considered reserving a suite for the group. The idea hadn’t crossed his mind, but when the representative shared a virtual tour of the suite, showcasing its exclusivity and the experience it could offer, an executive decision was made to upgrade. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made.
 
On the Sunday before the game, we finally revealed the surprise to our Pastor, along with the exciting news that 20 men were joining him for this unforgettable outing. The look of astonishment on his face was priceless. That night, as we all gathered in the suite, something special happened. It wasn’t just about the game anymore—it was about the fellowship, the connection, and the bond we shared as brothers in Christ.
 
What started as a small, spontaneous trip turned into an annual tradition. Over the next five years, the COJ Brotherhood Outing to Charlotte grew. Each year, men from other churches joined us, and our group expanded from 20 to as many as 45 men. The event became more than just a game—it became a cornerstone of camaraderie, friendship, and unforgettable memories. It was a chance for men, both Christian and those still on their journey, to come together in fellowship, laughter, and a shared love of sports, all while honoring God.
 
Unfortunately, the outbreak of COVID put a pause on our gatherings. But now, after five years of waiting, we are thrilled to re-engage the Brotherhood and reignite this beloved tradition. As we look to the future, we are excited to create even more captivating experiences, continue building strong bonds, and welcome both returning attendees and those joining us for the first time.
 
Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just starting your journey with the Brotherhood, we can’t wait to see you in Charlotte, where we’ll continue making memories that last a lifetime.

The COJ Brotherhood Outing 2025 is much more than just an event—it’s the continuation of a tradition that began in 2013 and has grown immensely in popularity over the years. What started as a small gathering within the Church of Jesus has expanded into an annual celebration that now reaches beyond the church community, bringing people together for fellowship, fun, and unforgettable experiences.

The year 2025 simply marks the next chapter in this beloved tradition. If you want to dive deeper into the rich history of this event and discover how it all began, head over to the History of the Church of Jesus Brotherhood Outing. There, you can learn about the original purpose of this event and how it’s evolved into the exciting experience it is today. Trust us—you won’t want to miss the inspiring story behind this tradition!

For this exciting event, we’ve set up two convenient payment methods to ensure everyone has the opportunity to secure their spot.

  1. Full Payment: Pay the entire amount of $500 upfront to lock in your attendance.

  2. Partial Payments: Start with a minimum deposit of $125, which began acceptance on October 1, 2024. The remaining balance can be paid in equal installments of $125. Please note, the final payment is due no later than January 3rd, 2025.

Due to the limited availability of our suite, it’s crucial that we lock in our venue approximately 30 days before the event. We strongly urge you to complete your payment as soon as possible to ensure your spot in this unforgettable experience!

Yes, we are limiting the number of attendees to ensure the best possible experience for everyone. To avoid overcrowding and to make sure each person has plenty of room to enjoy the suite, we have a set capacity. This allows us to provide an unforgettable experience and foster growth for future events, where we can look into reserving larger spaces based on increased demand.

Attendance is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who complete their payments in a timely manner will have the first opportunity to secure their spot. No spot will be held without at least the deposit payment being made. So if you're interested, act quickly to avoid missing out on this exclusive event!

Each year, we carefully assess the opportunity to sponsor this event. However, there are several key factors that must be considered, including the NBA game schedule, the events and services planned by our church organization, and the costs involved in transportation, lodging, food, and securing the suite venue.

Most importantly, we gauge the interest and commitment of our attendees and the overall cost that must be borne. While we desire to sponsor this event every year, it's not always feasible. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can participate without overextending themselves financially. Rest assured, we aim to plan future events when it’s most viable and beneficial for all involved.
