Andrew Wommack,75, founded the college 30 years ago, and is now planning for his successors, Mike and Carrie Pickett, to take the leadership reins, according to reporting by The Gazette.
The Picketts are both currently executive vice presidents at the Charis Bible College main campus in Woodland Park, Colorado.
The couple has “been integral to Charis leadership for nine years,” Wommack told The Gazette. He says he began planning for the succession seven years ago, and the Picketts have been training for about three years.
Although Wommack is not stepping down nor retiring, the transition of leadership to the Picketts will be accelerated.
“I’m going to continue doing everything I’m doing now,” Wommack said, “but I look forward to working even more closely with the Picketts, who I’m confident will take Charis to new heights of influence in the body of Christ.”
Carrie Pickett graduated from Charis Bible College in 1999. She and Mike Pickett served as full-time missionaries in Russia for 16 years.

Charis Bible College offers an unaccredited three-year program. During year one, students are “immersed in God’s Word.” During year two, they get “hands on ministry experience.” In year three, they develop skills in one of seven schools: Christian ministry, global training, worship, business, practical government, leadership, and film and production.
Today, the campus encompasses nearly 500 acres with multiple buildings and a large parking garage. The first of new student dorms is slated to open this month.
In 2022, Charis Bible College secured the ability to build student housing on its campus without paying property taxes on the added facilities.
In the MinistryWatch database, Andrew Wommack Ministries has a D transparency grade and a low donor confidence score of 42. Furthermore, “this ministry has a negative net worth, making it impossible to assign it a valid financial efficiency rating.”
