Upon retiring, he returned to his home church, Wesley Chapel United Methodist of Enterprise to serve as the associate pastor.

Aside from his faithful service to the Lord, he is best known for his signature barbeque sauce. Whether planning barbecues for church events or preparing meals for his friends and family, Charlie Mac could always be found cooking to show his love for those who meant the most to him.
