Charles grew up serving the Lord at Providence Missionary Baptist Church.  As a faithful servant Charles served as a member of the Brotherhood, President of Young at Heart, Charter member of the Van Ministry, Charter member of the Walter R. McCall Ushers, member of the Senior Usher Board, Vice President of the Pulpit Search Committee, and a Deacon for over 40 years, as well as serving as Deacon Board Chairperson for 4 years. He loved his church and was a dedicated faithful member.

Charles attended Booker T.
