"Charles is a creative presenter, strategic thinker, and passionate ministry partner. Charles has a gift for communicating truth by drawing the listener into the story, laying out the possibilities and encouraging action as an end result."

"He has a gift of speaking the truth in a real-world practical way."

"The ministry of Charles and Sheryl Stone was deeply insightful and refreshing. Together they delicately addressed so many of the issues inherent in today’s pastoral homes. Charles’ explanation of the neurological and psychological triggers that account for the actions and reactions of those in pastoral ministry was also extremely helpful and informative."

"Charles has particular strengths in the area of vision casting, planning, and execution. I can think of no other person with whom I have worked in ministry (over 20 years) whose commitment to doing things with excellence is stronger than Charles."

"Charles was the speaker at our annual Gift Day For pastors and did a superb job of both presenting his material and giving us much to take away. . . . I heartily endorse Charles as a godly, tested, experienced pastor in the role of pastoral coach, speaker, and consultant."

"Charles’ ability to convey a message from the front of a crowded room but make you feel as though he were talking directly to you is incredible."

"Charles Stone is no stranger to the intricacies and systems needed for the growing of a healthy church. As a veteran of pastoral ministry, Charles’ brings a clear and compelling systematic approach to the health and well-being of today’s churches and leaders. He is articulate, compelling, humorous and tremendously intuitive in regards to church revitalization and pastoral ministry. Charles was a blessing to have as a keynote speaker for our conference."
