Meet Chuck Gordon, Founder and CEO of Connect Hope

Chuck is native Floridian (and an avid Gator fan), and began a radical relationship with Jesus Christ when he was 16 years old. During his junior year at Mercer University, Chuck surrendered his life to serve Christ in full time ministry. It was also there that he met (and eventually got his act together and married) his college sweetheart and love of his life, Jennifer. They are blessed with their three incredible daughters; Maegan, Abigail (her husband/their son-in-law, Israel) and Laura Beth. Chuck and Jennifer have lived in Evans, Georgia while serving in full-time in ministry in the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) since 1991… as student pastor at Warren Baptist Church for more than 12 years, then serving as church-planter and lead pastor of Greenbrier Church for over 16 years. While in student ministry, Chuck along with some close minister friends, developed the CSRA Student Pastors Network, seeking to encourage, equip and unify student pastors to make Jesus famous together. This group grew dramatically and ministered across the CSRA incredibly for many years!  While pastoring a church-plant, a passion for ministering to these fellow lead pastors was forged in Chuck’s heart, and a ministry to these Jesus-servants was unofficially launched.  

With a heart and burden for pastors and their families, in January 2021, Chuck, Jennifer, and their Board of Directors launched the non-profit ministry, “Connect Hope Inc.” Since its launch, Chuck has been meeting with pastors from around Georgia and South Carolina, investing in them, seeking to encourage and challenge them in their personal walk with Christ, their marriages, families, and their church ministries.  As well, through Connect Hope, many church plants and ministries across the CSRA are being resourced with much needed equipment to advance the Good News of our Jesus Christ!  Currently, along with leading Connect Hope, Chuck also has the incredible privilege of serving as pastoral staff at TrueNorth Church in North Augusta, South Carolina.
