Charlie H. Campbell (birth year unknown–present). Born in San Diego, California, Charlie Campbell grew up in a non-religious family, embracing atheism in his teens while pursuing music, acting, and architecture. At 21, wrestling with the origins of the universe, he converted to Christianity in the early 1990s through the witness of surfer friends at Calvary Chapel in Vista, California, inspired by their transformed lives. With no formal theological degree, he studied at Calvary Chapel Bible College, serving as an instructor (1997–2005) and Director of The School of Ministry at Calvary Vista, teaching apologetics, theology, and evangelism. Ordained in the Calvary Chapel Association, he founded Always Be Ready (ABR) Apologetics Ministry in 2005, equipping Christians to defend their faith against atheism, cults, and skepticism. Campbell’s preaching, delivered at hundreds of churches and conferences across North America, emphasizes biblical inerrancy, Jesus’ deity, and salvation by grace, drawing endorsements from Norman Geisler and Chuck Smith. He authored books like Teaching and Preaching God's Word (2020) and One Minute Answers to Skeptics (2010), and produces videos and an online apologetics course. Married to Anastasia, he has five children and continues ministering from Southern California. Campbell said, “The Bible’s truth stands firm against any challenge.”
