Stephen and Charity are a multicultural couple. Both of them were raised on the missions field. Stephen was raised in England and Charity in Germany and the Czech Republic. They met while Stephen came with a team to help with short term missions in the Czech Republic. They have been married for since 2004 and have two daughters, one son, and two very energetic dogs.

Stephen graduated from Christian Life College in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, in 2002 and was officially ordained as a minister in 2003. Charity received a degree in Vocal music at the Praha Musik Konservator in the Czech Republic and has used this to help lead people closer to God through worship. Both, Stephen and Charity, have spent most of their lives ministering to all ages from infant to adult to show the love of Jesus.

Stephen and Charity were missionaries in the Czech Republic together for five years, where they helped start the first Celebrate Recovery in the Czech Republic, ministered through worship, preaching, starting a children’s ministry and running VBS camps. Since moving to the USA in 2009 they have faithfully served wherever God has planted them.

Throughout 2009-2020 they have served in ministries in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Tulsa as Worship Leaders, Children’s Pastors, Media Directors , Youth event organizers and more.

Stephen and Charity knew they would pastor one day since before they were married. They believe that every ministry that they have had the honor to be a part of has been to prepare them for just that. They have a heart to seeing people restored and brought closer to God. As part of that, they believe that it is important that we follow God’s command to “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel”. Because of that, they are huge believers of supporting missions and equipping the local church to do the same.

Everything they do, is to love God and love people, and to serve both.
