Rev. Patricia (Simpson) Charles was born and raised in a small town called Bilston in the West Midlands of England. The Church of God in Bilston was started some 50 years ago in the living room of her parents' home. That church is still alive and flourishing today.

Patricia was musically minded, and at the age of six she began taking piano lessons. She then became the organist for the church at the age of twelve. Educationally, Patricia took on the profession of nursing and became a qualified Registered Nurse and Midwife. She has an Associate degree in Religious Education, a Bachelor of Ministry degree, and a Masters degree in Counseling. 

Her parents immigrated to the United States, and Patricia followed after completing her studies. Just before immigrating to America, Patricia met her husband, Bishop Ishmael Charles, while he was preaching at a crusade in their church in Bilston, England. The relationship blossomed over the telephone while Bishop Charles was studying in the Pentecostal Theological Seminary in Cleveland, Tennessee.

They were married in May 1989. Two months later Bishop Charles was sent to the Island of Tortola to pastor a church and became the Overseer of the region and since then was appointed Caribbean Field Director. In 2026, Bishop Charles was appointed as the Assistant Director for Church of God World Missions.

Patricia became a licensed minister in the Church of God in 1996. She was the Minister of Music in the church and led a choir of 70 voices. Her accomplishments include a School of Music with 20 students and the release of three albums with the local choir.  All that Patricia has accomplished and achieved is because of God, and all the glory belongs to Him.

They have two children, Ishika and Ishroy; two granddaughters, Grace and Faith; and one grandson, Alroy.
