“it is a pleasure today to introduce to my colleagues the Reverend Charles Hart. Reverend Hart understood Christ's words when he told his disciples, ``Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'' Charles Hart's treasure has been in his service to God by acting on his faith with the skills that he has been given and blessed with. Reverend Hart earned his undergraduate degree at Arlington College in Long Beach, CA. While Reverend Hart's first love was baseball, finance and his faith won out in his life. He began his career with Security Pacific Bank while at the same time serving as the associate pastor of South Bay Church of God in Torrance, CA. Reverend Hart's skill in finance led to a successful career in the secular world of banking. While this type of success can bring satisfaction, it did not bring to him the deepest satisfaction that comes from serving God full time. At that point, Reverend Hart decided to use his skills as a development officer for a small Christian liberal arts college in California.”
