Charles loves helping people connect to Jesus and being part of how he’s bringing wholeness to our lives. Before he came to Redeemer Presbyterian in Indianapolis in 2017, Charles served as a pastor in Columbia, Missouri, as a seminary professor in London, England, and in college ministry with Cru in Missouri and Eastern Europe. He did a M.Div. at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge.

Charles and his wife Erin got married in 2000 and have four kids (all born in England, though none of them have English accents anymore, unfortunately). You can find them walking their downtown neighborhood, enjoying Mexican food, cheering on the Chiefs and Royals, playing pickleball, and looking unsuccessfully for bridge partners.
