Charles grew up attending Grace Church as a kid and graduated from Copley High School in 2018. The summer before his senior year of high school, he decided to fully surrender his life to Jesus. After graduating, he wrestled with God about what to do next and eventually felt called to full-time ministry, not knowing exactly what that would look like.

He joined the Grace College Akron program and later became a Student Ministry Intern on staff at Grace. Charles graduated from Grace College in 2022 with a B.S. in Biblical Studies. Shortly afterward, he enrolled in the Grace Seminary Akron program, graduating in 2025 with an M.A. in Local Church Ministry. During his graduate years, Charles had various resident roles, including adult ministry and creative arts ministry.

Charles loves cars and spending time outdoors exploring God’s creation. He has been married to his wife, Lauren, since 2021; she is also on staff at the church. Charles has a passion for reaching the world with the Gospel and helps lead our young adult ministry.
