Pastor Linda Ares

Linda is our awesome pastor and fearless leader. She is passionate about teaching just how amazing God’s grace is towards each and every one of us. She says it is a bottomless well that never runs dry. Linda has an amazing testimony of being completely healed by God from a stroke!
Linda has been a teacher with Tipp City Schools for 27 years. In 2012 she felt God’s pull to start heading a new direction in her life and started school at Charis Bible College. That faithful decision eventually lead to the founding of Charis Church in Tipp City, OH.
She has been married to Frank, her sweetheart childhood neighbor, for 50 years and has 3 wonderful kids and lots of grandkids; all who reside in Tipp City as well.
Linda’s favorite pastime is spending time with her grandchildren, walking, taking road trips, and spending time with God reading the Word. She looks forward to one day visiting all the National Parks with her grandchildren, then starting all over again with her great grandchildren!
