At Fellowship Monrovia, we believe that making disciples happens in community, in relationship. One of the ways we call out men to be in community is through mentoring relationships—relationships that accelerate one’s pursuit of following Christ. Simply put, mentoring is a one/one relationship of trust and transparency in which a more experienced person helps to guide, support, model, and resource a less experienced person. To learn more about participating in the men’s mentoring movement at FM—either as a mentor or a mentee—contact Chuck Olson, Pastor of Leadership Development, at men@madeforfellowship.com.
Chuck is best known for his passion to equip and disciple leaders who lead not from their resumes or accomplishments, but with their lives. He is constantly pursuing ways to engage and challenge leaders to look at the interior issues of life and leadership. Chuck wears multiple hats as a pastor at Fellowship: discipler, mentor, and leadership coach.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Chuck served for over 35 years as an executive pastor before joining the pastoral team at Fellowship. He did his undergrad work at BIOLA, earned his Th.M. at Dallas Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree at Talbot School of Theology. He is also the Founder and President of Lead With Your Life, Inc., a nonprofit organization with a mission to build Kingdom leaders who lead from the inside out.
Chuck enjoys taking long walks with his college sweetheart Pattie, reading, working out, eating out, rooting for the USC Trojans, and spending as much time as he can with his six amazing grandkids—the SixPack!
