Charles Eugene "Charlie" Hall III (born May 30, 1973 in Fort Campbell, Kentucky) is a Christian worship leader and songwriter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is a member of a group of musicians and speakers that collectively form the Passion movement.

Career

Since 1991, Hall has been traveling, songwriting, and sharing life with people in his home of Oklahoma City, and across the United States, and even across several oceans. He attended Cherokee Hills Baptist Church and was Worship Pastor at Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City.[4]

After the releases of two independent albums, Hall released Porch and Altar, which was labeled by sixstepsrecords, in 2001. Porch and Altar was the second album released by the label.[5]

Hall has created several albums of diverse music. His latest album is "The Rising".

As many of the Passion collegiate gatherings were recorded live, Hall was quickly dubbed "a voice" for the Passion movement, performing on all eight Passion albums, which have sold more than one million units.

Hall expresses the desire to be "honed into God, where I'm not part of a culture where I'm trying to make the people around me think, 'Hey, that's a good Christian.'" He says, "I'm just trying to pursue God and not pursue being accepted into a club...I'm more honed into my pursuit of God in Christ and how he's forming me and changing and helping me love him and know him." [6]

Hall's band, in which he performs vocals and guitar, consists of Ben Freeman (electric guitar and keyboards), Dustin Ragland (drums), and Quint Anderson (bass guitar).
