Rev. Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, is slated to visit North Charleston Sunday afternoon to celebrate Charity Missionary Baptist Church's 100th anniversary.

The service is scheduled to begin 5 p.m. at the church, 1544 East Montague Ave., according to spokeswoman Trudy Grant. Sharpton will serve as the service's guest speaker, she said.

The church's pastor, Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III, joined the National Action Network's senior staff in June as vice president of religious affairs and external relations. The civil-rights organization aims to reverse gun violence.

Sunday's service is free and open to the public.
