Women of
Excellence Ministries - Sister Patricia Charles
 |
Patricia Charles was born and raised
in a small town called Bilston, in the West Midlands in England.
The Church of God in Bilston was started in the living room
of her parent’s home, Bro & Sis Simpson, some 43 years
ago. That church is still alive and well today. |
Patricia was musically; minded and at the age
of six began taking piano lessons. She then became the organist
for the church. Patricia took on the profession of nursing and
became a qualified Registered Nurse and Midwife. |

Her parents immigrated to the United States
and Patricia followed after completing her studies. Just before
immigrating to America, Patricia met her husband Bishop Ishmael
Charles, whilst he was preaching at a crusade. The relationship
blossomed over the telephone, while Bishop Charles was studying
in the School of Theology in Cleveland, Tennessee. They were
married in May 1989. Two months later Bishop Charles was sent
to the island of Tortola to pastor a church and became the Overseer
of the region. Patricia has always been by his side. They have
two beautiful children, Ishika age 15 and Ishroy 13. |
Patricia became a licensed minister in the
Church of God in 1996. She is the Minister of Music in the
church and also leads a choir of 65 voices who have released
3 albums. She has also started a School of Music with over
40 students. Patricia is also the director of the Women’s
Ministry in her region.
