MEET OUR STAFF

 Charles Carden ,My family moved quite a bit as I was growing up consequently if we were to attend church it had to be one close enough to walk to.  My mother was a born again Christian and took us to church until we were old enough to either attend on our own or not as we desired.  I accepted Christ at age fourteen and was a member of one of the largest denominations in the south for about forty years.  My late wife, as many people do got her feelings hurt by one of prominent ladies of the church where we were members and refused to attend there.  She heard of a Full Gospel church several miles from our home and wanted to attend.  To appease her I also attended and shortly thereafter became a member.  I attended the school of ministry at the church for a total of five years and had no idea that God had a job for me.  However when Dr. James Carden opened this chapel at the direction of the Holy Spirit and shortly thereafter asked me to be a part of the ministry, I agreed and attended the chapel some and my church some.  I became a permanent member of the staff in 2001.  This is very rewarding work and is (for me) very fulfilling.  As a prophecy was given to me in 1999 and I quote “God has a ministry for you and although you are old you will live until you finish that ministry”.  God bless and always keep your eyes on the Savior.
