About
Apostle Dr. Charles E. Perry, Jr.
In 2000, during a time of deep hopelessness, God intervened in Dr. Perry’s life as he was preparing to end his own. In that moment, God revealed His plan for Dr. Perry to establish Word of Restoration Church. God’s vision was clear: to restore lives through His Word and to create a community, the “City of Restoration.” Under Dr. Perry’s leadership, Word of Restoration now spans a 48-acre campus, known as the City of Restoration, with six buildings totaling 120,000 square feet. Thousands from surrounding areas have found a home at Word of Restoration, experiencing life-changing ministry. As Dr. Perry often says, the church’s greatest asset is its people and the restoration they find through God’s Word.
Dr. Perry holds a Bachelor of Ministry degree, a Master’s in Christian Leadership from Union Bible Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate of Ministry from Christian Bible Institute and Seminary. He is a spiritual protégé of Pastor Steve Houpe of Harvest Church International Outreach in Kansas City, Missouri. In May 2019, Dr. Perry entered the Kingdom Bible Institute’s School of the Apostles. After completing all requirements, he was publicly affirmed as an Apostle on September 22, 2019, in a ceremony led by Apostle Dr. Dana Carson of The R.O.C.K. Church International. Today, Dr. Perry serves not only as the founding Pastor and Visionary of Word of Restoration but also as a facilitator of leadership development throughout the Body of Christ. Through T.A.C.C. (The Apostle’s Covering and Connection), he provides training, mentorship, and spiritual covering for Kingdom leaders seeking a connection to his ministry.
A gifted teacher, Apostle Perry brings scripture to life with a unique ability to interpret its context, application, and relevance for daily living. Despite his own hardships, he stands firmly on the promise in Isaiah 61:7 and lives by the statement: “When Your Life is Restored, You Shall Have Double.”
Apostle Perry has been devotedly married to Lady Charlette for over 33 years. They have two children, Belinda (married to Donovan Walker) and Caleb (married to Brandie Perry), and are proud grandparents to five granddaughters—Kennedi, Brelyn, Ciara, Mia, and Brooklyn—and one grandson, Caleb Jr. (Deuce).
