Charles Robert McPherson

Charles Robert McPherson (January 7, 1926 – September 22, 2020) was the senior pastor of the great Riverside Church in Denver.

The family could no longer provide for Bob, so he moved to live with his mother's sister, Tiny, in Lake Village, Arkansas.

Bob, encouraged to attend college by an English teacher, applied and gained entry to Ouachita Baptist University.

Bob was very involved at University, spending his time as a Cheerleader, head of his dorm, Band Director and Class President.

During his studies, Bob met a preacher that went by the name McBernie, in South Fort Worth, who was well-known and requested by churches all over Texas that he preach for them.
