Ordained Pastor  ·  Greater Orlando, Florida

Pastor Charles Carpenter

Bringing faith, comfort, and dignity to one of life's hardest days.

Get in Touch

You don't have to face this alone — or without faith.

Many families find themselves without a pastor when loss comes. Maybe you've been between churches. Maybe you moved to Orlando and never found the right fit. Maybe faith has always been part of your family's life, even if Sunday mornings weren't.

Whatever your situation, you deserve a service that honors your loved one with the full hope of the Christian faith — Scripture, prayer, and the genuine comfort of the Gospel.

"I serve families throughout Greater Orlando who want a meaningful, faith-centered service — whether or not they have a church home."

I am an ordained pastor, not a generic officiant. I bring theological depth, genuine pastoral care, and more than two decades of ministry experience to every service I lead.

A service as personal as the life it honors.

No two people are the same. No two services should be either. Here is how I approach every family I have the privilege of serving.

1

We talk first.

Before I write a word, I sit down with your family — or speak by phone if time is short — to hear about your loved one. Who they were. How they lived. What their faith meant to them. That conversation shapes everything that follows.

2

The service is personal, not generic.

I will speak your loved one's name, tell their story, and anchor the entire service in the hope that only Christ can give. Scripture will be chosen with your family in mind — not pulled from a template.

I follow up.

Grief doesn't end when the guests go home. I reach back out to every family I serve because your care doesn't stop at the graveside.

A pastor who has been there — more than 500 times.

I have been an ordained pastor for over 30 years and have officiated more than 500 Christian funeral and memorial services for families throughout Central Florida. I have served families of every background and denomination — lifelong churchgoers and families finding their way back to faith in a moment of loss.

I am not employed by a funeral home. I work for your family. My only goal is to give your loved one a service that is worthy of the life they lived and the God they trusted.

I have deep, long-standing relationships with funeral directors throughout Greater Orlando, and I am available on short notice for both graveside services and chapel services.

Serving Greater Orlando and Central Florida.

I am available for graveside services, chapel services, and memorial services throughout the metro Orlando area. Travel beyond a reasonable radius may include a small travel fee — just ask.
