Elder Charles Jerone Francis IIThe Music…….
Charles has been able to sing before he could talk. At the age of 12 he became the church’s organist and by the age of 18 he had become the minister of music. It is said that everyday he would climb on the piano stool and play for about thirty seconds. Well that thirty seconds turned into minutes, hours, days and now he is not only an accomplished musician but also an accomplished singer. It is said that Charles’s ear for music is impeccable.
Through the guidance of God, Charles’s mother and grandmother decided to enroll him at the state renowned Rochester School of the Arts. He was featured in many shows such as “Mama I want to singâ€, “Dream Girls†and “Little Shop of Horrors.†He also founded the One - Hundred voice plus School of The Arts Gospel Choir. During his tenure there he also studied voice at the World Renowned Eastman School of Music. With this secular knowledge and the anointing already placed on his life, success was inevitable. Charles has been featured in many concerts with various artists such as John Kee, Donald Lawrence, Hezekiah Walker, Vicky Winans, The Pointer Sisters, Nancy Wilson, Sandy Patti, Michael Bolton, Paul Anka, world renowned opera star, Renee Fleming and many others.The Ministry……..
On July 20th, 1996, Elder Francis received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire. It was then that he recognized that there was a call on his life for the spoken word ministry. Two years later he attended Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte North Carolina, where he really began to work in the ministry. Charles’ charisma, excitement, music ministry and ability to speak truth to young people was the catalyst for many changed lives on the campus. Many have said that his God given anointing is life changing and causes people to want to better themselves.
After a series of continual dreams Charles decided to move back to Rochester to pursue ministry. In April of 1999 Charles gave his official sermon. In September of that same year, Charles was blessed to become a licensed minister. After his return to Rochester he implemented several new ministry methods that promoted church growth including an annual Youth Word Conference, Praise Team, Sanctuary Choir, Praise Frenzy and the annual Community Day.As an Elder……
