REVEREND DR. CHARLIE E. DATES
Blessed to serve in the city in which he was born, Reverend Dr. Charlie E. Dates is Chicago through and through. Raised on the southside of Chicago, he came of age having welcomed Christ into his life early. Heavily influenced by the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, W.E.B. Dubois, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Mary Mcloud – Bethune, Dr. Charlie’s orientation and early formation were significantly bent toward the theological reflection of Black people. This shaped his approach to preaching and his thoughts about the transformative role the Black church plays in bringing about the flourishing of a people.
Dr. Dates holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Communication & Rhetoric from the University of Illinois – Champaign, Urbana, where he met his wife, Kirstie, who not only changed his life, but also elevated his approach to living. He continued his education with a Master of Divinity and a PhD in Historical Theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois.
In 2011, Reverend Dates became the youngest Senior Pastor to serve the historic Progressive Baptist Church of Chicago, which saw exponential growth under his leadership. As a highly sought-after speaker, he is widely invited to preach at churches and speak at retreats, conferences, and universities throughout the United States and abroad. Through his passion for learning, living, and teaching the Gospel, Dr. Charlie serves as an Affiliate Professor at Baylor University- George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and Wheaton College. He is a contributing author to Letters To A Birmingham Jail and Say It: Celebrating Expository Preaching in the African American Tradition, and is currently working on his first single-authored book on Christianity and Social Justice.
In January 2023, Reverend Dates became the Senior Pastor of the Salem Baptist Church of Chicago. He is married to Kirstie Dates and is the proud father of their children, Charlie Edward Dates II & Claire Dates.

United In Prayer | A Birmingham Prayer Event
2025-03-15 10:00 | Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, 1101 Martin Luther King Jr Dr, Birmingham, Alabama, 35211
Christians are called to unity. It’s important. It was the last thing Jesus prayed for before going to the Cross. We believe Christians in Birmingham are more unified than people might think. That’s why we’re planning a morning to invite Christians from churches all over the city to join us at 6th Avenue Baptist Church to pray for our city. Let’s see what God does, and let’s show our city that we truly are one (John 17:21).
This event is hosted by United? We Pray in partnership with Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, Mountain Brook Community Church, Faith Chapel, Bethel Baptist Church, and Iron City Church.

Space is Limited. Registration Required
