Charles H. Stalker (May 22, 1887 – November 25, 1953) was an American preacher and evangelist whose fervent ministry within the Holiness movement left a lasting impact on early 20th-century American Christianity. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, to George W. Stalker and Martha J. Hite, he grew up in a devout Methodist family that shaped his early spiritual life. Converted at age 17 in 1904 during a revival meeting led by Henry Clay Morrison at Louisville’s Seelbach Auditorium, he experienced a profound sanctification shortly after, solidifying his call to preach. He pursued limited formal education, attending Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, for a time, but relied heavily on personal study and divine guidance for his ministry preparation. Stalker’s preaching career began in 1908 when he joined the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, serving as a supply pastor in various circuits until 1912, when he shifted to full-time evangelism due to disagreements over church hierarchy. Known for his fiery, Spirit-led sermons, he traveled extensively across the U.S., preaching at camp meetings, revivals, and Holiness gatherings, often emphasizing sanctification, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and practical Christian living—themes evident in preserved works like “The Plan of Redemption” and “The Indwelling Christ” on oChristian.com. He founded Louisville’s Faith Tabernacle in the 1920s, a hub for his independent ministry, and remained unmarried, dedicating his life wholly to evangelism until his death at 66 in Louisville from heart failure, leaving a legacy of passionate gospel proclamation and influence on figures like H.C. Morrison.
