Pastor Charlie Robertson was born in eastern NY and grew up on a farm in rural Washington County which borders Vermont. At age 17 he came to faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and a year later sensing God’s direction entered Philadelphia College of Bible (now Cairn University) to prepare for pastoral ministry. After graduating, he served as the pastor of two rural churches in the eastern New York area. In January 2013 Pastor Charlie and his wife Nancy came to western New York as Pastor Charlie assumed the position of pastor at West Portland Baptist Church. Having been here over 11 years, they enjoy the opportunity to serve the people of West Portland Baptist Church and our neighboring communities. Pastor and Nancy have 2 grown children. Daughter Lydia and husband Josh reside in Palm Coast, Florida with Pastor and Nancy’s 3 young grandchildren and son Luke lives in Huntingdon, PA employed at Juniata College.
