Charles Woolfork

Since his discovery at the Gospel Music Workshop of America in 1993, Pastor Charles Woolfork has been a part of the landscape of the Gospel music scene. Having shared the stage and pulpit with some of the most dynamic names in the industry, it’s his time to become a distinct fixture for the new direction of Gospel for years to come!

Music and ministry is what he knew he was destined to do. From his early days in worship ministry to his licensing and ordination by Bishop C. Vernie Russell Jr. of Norfolk VA in 2003, Woolfork has had a love for ministry and music equally. “I feel if you want to be complete in one you need to respect and love the other, they work well when the vessel is anointed to do both.” His ministry and music experience is varied as he served as a Worship leader, bible study teacher,youth outreach Pastor, and Administrative Pastor. He is currently a member of the fastest growing ministry on the North coast, The Word Church under Pastor R.A. Vernon of Cleveland, Ohio Where he serves in the music ministry.

The latest of his 6 national releases entitled “The Process Birth Development Destiny” has the aura of blessings and success written all over it as Woolfork returns after a two year absence to once again take us to a new musical dimension. The Process is in his own words his favorite work because it is the inaugural work from his own independent label “Eternity Musiq Group”. “As a new business owner and entrepreneur this label is less about me and more about what people of faith can accomplish” Woolfork says.

In late 2003 he founded a youth outreach ministry called Abstinence In Action, a vibrant ministry that focuses on HIV/AIDS awareness and training. “I think that real ministry is most effective outside the walls of the church, this ministry is designed to expose our youth and adults alike to the ravages of HIV/AIDS in our communities and to educate them concerning the disease. We deal with a holy holistic approach to options and the consequences of making bad decisions, I feel that we absolutely need to be more transparent with our youth and in general if we really wish to eradicate this problem and make a difference.” Woolfork has several national dates to do AIA workshops and is planning a National summit on HIV/AIDS awareness for youth in 2006.

A multi-talented Actor, Writer, Producer, Preacher , three time Stellar Award nominee and so much more Pastor Charles Woolfork was referred to by Nuthin’ But Gospel Dot Com as “The Prince of the Praise Party”, A title that thankfully he is not quite ready to relinquish any time soon!

We play live nationally and I am also usually at my church leading worship service for all three of our service times on Sundays. (The Word Church - Cleveland, Ohio)
