Charles C WhiteRev. Charles White grew up in the church - first as a Presbyterian, then as a United Methodist through high school. During the following years, his faith journey took him through a variety of Christian communities, including non-denominational congreations, before he returned to The United Methodist Church in his 40s. That winding path gave him a deep appreciation for the ways God works across traditions, and a genuine love for people wherever they are in their own journey.Before answering God's call to ordained ministry, Charles spent years in business, sales, and printing - building skills he now puts to work every day in ministry. He holds master's degrees in Divinity (M.Div.) from Claremont School of Theology and in Graphic Arts Systems from Rochester Institute of Technology.Since 2019, Charles has served as a United Methodist pastor for congregations in Nevada and California. Along the way, he has helped congregations navigate difficult seasons with honesty and hope - launching food pantries, guiding churches through financial challenges, and creating space for people to explore questions about their faith.His life and ministry are centered on two core Scriptures. Matthew 22:34-40 calls us to love God, love ourselves, and love others - and Luke 8:50 simply reminds us: "Do not be afraid; just believe." Charles believes churches are at their best when they become places where everyone truly belongs - and he works hard to make that a reality.Charles leads Bible studies, builds teams, and isn't afraid to ask the questions he finds most compelling: "Why?","Help me understand...", "What can we accomplish together?", and "What's next?"He and his wife Anne have been married since 1995. Anne is an award-winning, senior graphic designer who works from home. Charles enjoys spending time outdoors - especially near or on water. Anne prefers knitting and crafts. They share their life with their dog Sophie. Read More Read Less
