A year after his mother's death David Stevens once again moved his family. This time it was back to Wilson's Mill, North Carolina. Buies Creek Academy is where, during this time, Charles Stevens began his first schooling. After only a year and half, Charles was prepared for college. He then enrolled at Wake Forest University. Here he was honored in his studies, ran track, and became "convinced of the Lord's call to Christian service," according to professor William Thompson.
