Charlee, along with his wife, Karina, are passionate about making disciples and raising up the next generation of worship leaders. Recognizing the growing need for Spirit-filled, biblically grounded worship leaders in today’s Church, Charlee has joined Global Year with a vision to invest deeply in the next generation.

During his first year with Global Year, Charlee will serve alongside the local church in Puerto Rico while partnering with seasoned, Spirit-filled worship leaders to help launch the School of Worship, a ministry committed to equipping and discipling young worship leaders to lead with both excellence and spiritual depth.

Charlee’s desire is to see a generation of worship leaders who don’t simply lead songs, but lead people into the presence of God and live lives fully surrendered to Christ.

Nate Condrey has been in worship ministry for fifteen years. After five years of being on staff at a church, Nate was led to go full-time with Global Year.
