Regarding the Eastwood church, Charles says: "I am excited about the opportunities to minister to our community and grow the Kingdom for Jesus. Things are always happening at Eastwood. We have four dynamic elders who want to shepherd the flock and thirteen deacons who are committed to serving the kingdom. The church is excited about the future and that makes me excited. I believe the future is as bright as it has ever been for us to do the Great Commission of Jesus. Do we have challenges? Of course, but the faith of our people is in the Lord and our Lord will help us meet every obstacle."
