Aaron Andrade

Director of Shepherding & Discipleship

Aaron brings a rich blend of experience, from the military to corporate leadership to church ministry. A U.S. Army veteran, he served alongside Army chaplains as a mental health counselor for eight years, supporting soldiers and families through seasons of hardship and healing. After his military service, Aaron spent over a decade leading teams in nonprofits and high-growth businesses. Most recently, he and his wife, Laura, co-founded a consulting firm that has successfully served faith-driven leaders and other organizations here in Charlotte for the last five years.

Aaron holds a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and has served in previous church roles as a worship director and in teaching and discipleship ministries. With a heart for spiritual formation and gospel-centered growth, he looks forward to serving the members of Christ Covenant in this new role. Aaron and Laura have been part of Christ Covenant Church since 2021 when they moved from Massachusetts. They have three children, Julia, Brayden, and Ava, and are expecting their fourth in January 2026.
