About Us
Welcome to Southtower Community Church. We know that visiting a church for the first time can be overwhelming. We hope that you find Southtower a place you feel welcomed and at home, even if you've never been to church before.
Southtower is an easy-going environment. Whether business casual or jeans - it doesn't matter. We are just happy you're here! We are so excited about what God is doing through our ministry, and pray that you find a place here with us.
Southtower exists to preach the Word so you can learn to grow, and serve. We not only want you to be engaged in His Word, but in the community, for we are stronger together. Our hope today is that you will be changed by God's Word, encouraged by His people and touched by his presence.
Pastor Charlie Carver and Mrs. Tami Carver
Pastor Charlie Carver Jr. was born and raised in
Riverton, Illinois. Small town roots give him
the ability to share his messages with a down
home delivery.
He and his wife Tami owned and operated a
small business in Springfield before being called
into the ministry as an ordained minister.
Pastor Charlie was licensed to preach in 1997
through Heartland Baptist Network, where he
preached and taught at several sister churches.
In 2005 he was ordained into the ministry as a
pastor, through the Southern Baptist denomination, at Westside Baptist Church. Soon after
he and his family were called to plant a church in the Tri-City area.
Southtower Community Church began holding services inside the Carver's place of business from 2005-2006 and in May of 2007, STCC opened the doors to their new facility at 1350 South Tower Road, Dawson, IL.
Pastor Charlie and Tami sold their business in 2008 and went into ministry full time.
The Carver's have lived and raised their children in the Tri-City area for over twenty years. They continue to serve this great community today.
Together with so many faithful volunteers and church members they have been blessed to watch God's vision for the Tri-City area grow and flourish.
Thanks be to God!
