Charlie Prior was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas Christian University in 1975. In 1985 Charlie cried out to God to change his life and God did so by delivering him and setting him free from a life of sin, hurt, pain, drugs and alcohol. He has never been the same since. Charlie’s friend, Laurie Brumit, immediately invited him to Calvary Cathedral International. In 1986 Charlie and Laurie were married. In 1990 he graduated from Calvary Cathedral International Bible College and in 1993 he became the Business Administrator of Calvary Cathedral International.
