Charles E. Hamilton Jr. was born to the late Charles and late Shirley Hamilton on December 29, 1978 in Hollandale, MS.

At the age of 3 years old, his father left his mother alone to raise two boys as a single mother.

By the age of 16, our pastor joined a gang and began to sell drugs, but because of his athletic abilities he continued to attend school regularly.

As a junior in high school, he had many major colleges and professional baseball teams scouting him.

On June 3, 1998, our pastor was drafted by the Kansas City Royals as a pitcher in the 17th round and became the first person in Hollandale, MS history to play professional baseball.

While playing for the Royals, he was voted one of the most elite players in their organization for his ability to pitch from 89mph-96mph.

In 2000, our pastor was released from the Kansas City Royals due to his outraged behavior against the team’s rules and regulations.

Shortly after his release from the Royals, in March 2002, he was sentenced to 3 years in the Mississippi Department of Corrections on charges for selling drugs.

Only being in jail for 16 days, a man by the name of Robert Washington came to the Greenville County Jail, and told our pastor how he could get saved, so on March 17, 2002, our pastor gladly received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour.
Seven months after his conversion, God showed our pastor in Ephesians 4:11 and Titus 1:3, that He wanted him to be a pastor and he surrendered to the high calling of God.

Our pastor will be starting All Nations Baptist Church June 21, 2026. He’s being sent out by Crossroads Baptist Church in Memphis, TN, pastored by Pastor Clenton Patterson.

Our pastor and his wife Sandra, have 5 children and 3 grandson.
