Music Minister
Our Music Minister leads the congregation in Spirit-filled worship, guiding our choir and musicians to create an atmosphere where hearts are opened and God is glorified. Through music, we celebrate our faith and welcome all into the presence of God. Our Minister of Music is none other than Charles McCall, the renowned founder and creator of A Star Is Born Performance Camp in New Orleans. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Charles attended Ensley High School and later studied at Dillard University. His creative contributions extend beyond music to local arts, fashion shows, and community media projects. He was recently featured in Timothy Quarshie’s dynamic art exhibit, which highlighted inspiring stories of individuals whose roots in Ensley, Birmingham, have shaped their contributions to the world. We are blessed to have his talent, creativity, and passion for ministry at Blessings Beyond International Church.
