• Education: "School of Hard Knocks"; many classes, workshops, training sessions at Denominational level and statewide interdenominational events; training by the three Pastors who have taught me the most and have had the greatest personal impact upon my life and development: Pastor Keith LaGesse, Pastor Elden Kirschman, Pastor Ivory Crittendon.
• Experience: 20 years + as: Sunday School Teacher of all ages; Christian Education Director; Sunday School Superintendent; Minister of Christian Education.
• Sermon or series that made a difference: "I Don’t Want to Go to Hell", Dr. E. V. Hill. "Confronting Casual Christianity", Pastor Elden Kirschman.
• Family: Married to a beautiful, godly woman, Diane. Son, Charles IV, much smarter, more imaginative than I ever was. Daughter, Margaret Ann Louise, compassionate, loving, caring, gentle, patient. Four incredibly wonderful grandchildren, Jacob, Amanda, Hannah, Andrew.
• Best advice given to me about preaching: "When you’ve got a word from God to speak out, stand up and speak it plainly and boldly, and when you’ve done that, then immediately shut up and sit down."
• Books that have had an impact: A Savior Worth Having, Dr. E. V. Hill.
• Hobbies: Reading, natural history, raising pet lizards.
• What I want on my tombstone: As it was said of Abraham in James 2:23, He was the friend of God.
