 Charlie joined the Higgins team in 2006. As the facilities manager, he is responsible for the maintenance of the building and the setup of church activities. In other words, he keeps things running around here!

In his spare time, Charlie enjoys playing golf and spending time with his wife, Stephanie, and their daughter, Emilee and their three grandsons. On Sunday mornings, you'll see Charlie singing on the praise team.
