Pastor Charles Simpson

Rev. Charles Simpson is the Trans local authority who has volunteered to serve Covenant Life Fellowship and offer leadership at this time. Charles Simpson is no stranger to North Louisiana. To our knowledge he was the first to bring the Charismatic dimension to North Lousiana in the mid 1960's outside the Pentecostal Churches. He became one of the leaders of the Charismatic movement. Out of this movement the Holy Spirit restored the Holy Spirit gifts to the Church. Brother Charles has become a spiritual father to many since that time.
