Charles Possenriede

Pastor Charles Possenriede is a native New Yorker and has been a Seventh-day Adventist for the past forty-four years serving as pastor for twenty-three of those years in Michigan, New York, and now, for the past 18 years, right here in Florida. His experience in ministry as both a layperson and pastor has given him a well-balanced understanding of what it takes to reach the hearts of men and women with the Gospel. Pastor Possenriede has a passion for “Friendship Evangelism” and believes that making friends for Jesus in our everyday lives is the most effective way to win souls for the Kingdom of God. He and his wife Barbara have been married for the past 32 years and have three grown adult children, daughter Cara Lynn, and sons, Charles Douglas, and George Robert. Pastor Possenriede is an avid golfer and carries a 11 handicap (working on getting that into single digits).
