Charlie was called as Worship Pastor of NorthPark in June of 2000 and served until August of 2006. He was blessed to return almost 7 years later, in August of 2013. Originally from the great state of Mississippi, he has been in Alabama since 1993 and is a University of Alabama football fanatic (sorry, Auburn friends).

1982 was a great year for Charlie. After graduating from Mississippi College with a vocal performance degree in May, he married the love of his life, Lisa, in August. Charlie and Lisa have three children, Maeci, Micah, and Matt, and they have three grandchildren, Bo, Georgia, and Wilder…who affectionally call them “La La” and “Bop Bop.”

He has a Master of Music and Doctor of Education degrees from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with specializations in worship studies and spiritual formation and discipleship. He has frequently served as an Adjunct Professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological extension in Birmingham, Alabama. During his years of ministry, he has served churches in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Colorado.

Charlie is very passionate about leading worship and loves to equip and mentor worship leaders. He loves reading, Alabama football, and doing yard work. Most of all, he loves to spend time with his family.
