Charlie Vasquez has been our youth minister since April 2022. He has previously worked with congregations in St. Louis, Missouri, and Houston, Texas. He is married to Raianne and they have a daughter, Addi. He graduated in 2015 with a Bachelors in Bible and Religion from Harding University. He is fun-loving, weird, and passionate about God and His people. Some personal interests include the Dallas Cowboys, tennis, movies, and hiking.

Charlie believes that youth ministry is one of the most important mission fields. He has a passion to teach, equip, and love teenagers. At the same time, he is passionate about partnering with parents, who he believes are instrumental and primarily responsible for helping their teenagers grow in faith. He also believes that ministry to teenagers goes beyond education. Teenagers need someone who will live a Christian life that they can model and who will love and invest time getting to know them. It is his goal to be one of those people for every teenager that he has in the youth group. Charlie says, “I am thankful that God has allowed me to serve the teenagers and parents at the Raleigh Church of Christ as their youth minister.”
