Meet the Rev. Dr. Charles Young

  
     The Rev. Dr. Charles Young was a missionary of the General Board of Global Ministries assigned to the Alaska Missionary Conference. He is now retired.

Reflecting on his ministry Dr. Young says,
"I will be the pastor of a congregation in a small seacoast town in southeast Alaska. The church consciously identifies itself as one of the more accepting and open congregations in the community. My ministry will be to support and encourage that ministry style among the congregation and into the community."

In his years of service in ministry, Dr. Young has served as pastor to local churches, director of a halfway house for adult male parolees, campus minister and in private pastoral counseling.

He received his BA from Ohio Wesleyan University and his Masters of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Illinois.

He is married to Gerry Arleta Sexten Young and they have two adult children: Allison and Christopher.
