Career
Charles began his solo career the day after he graduated from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama in 1992. After two years, he joined the Christian Contemporary Music group NewSong. In 1994, they released People Get Ready featuring "Arise My Love." That album had four #1 hits. After two years with NewSong, Charles left to pursue a solo career, averaging 200 concerts a year.[1] [2]
The year 2002 brought change as Charles became the worship pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church, as well as the artist-in-residence at Liberty University. [3] The year 2005 brought even more change as Charles moved to San Diego, California to work with Dr. David Jeremiah at the Shadow Mountain Community Church, home of Turning Point Ministries.
After two years in SanDiego, Charles returned to Thomas Road Baptist Church where he resumed his position of worship leader. He continues to serve on the advisory council of the Center for Worship at Liberty University. In 2011, he helped launch a new publishing company that is a partnership with Thomas Road Baptist Church and Liberty University called Red Tie Music.[4]
