Joseph R. Chambers and Paw Creek Ministries

Who I Am
Everyone would be amazed at some of the letters, calls, and e-mails I receive. Some people on the left call me a radical fundamentalist, while some on the right call me a liberal or even a backslider. Others in the apparent middle just call me whatever comes to their mind. Thank the Lord these calls constitute only a single digit amount compared to the kind and grateful calls from friends, supporters, and people who love the things we speak of and write about.

May I say that I do not mind the critical calls because they express the honest feelings of people who may be in search for the truth? Not a one of us know it all and I pity that man that cannot learn more as he travels the Road to Eternity and our ultimate judgment before the Creator. To everyone who contacts us in any way, we express gratitude that you at least read or heard enough to get your attention.

I am a very simple man with a wonderful family. My daughter calls my articles hieroglyphics when she first gets them out of my hands. She is not far from right. Juanita is the first lady (and she vows the last) and a southern queen in regal form. She is my wife of 47 years this June 5th. We have three children and six grandchildren. The names of my family members are as follows: Terence (Terry) and Anne with three children, our Curtis, our Caleb, and our Cami. Theresa and Michael, with our Christa and our Andrew. Then Tanya and Rick with our Tiffany. They are all important to Juanita and I and we live with a covenant of God for our family to be a circle unbroken in the eternal land.

We are Classical Pentecostals. That means we are old-fashioned Pentecostals that believe in living holy lives by the Word of God. We believe the King James Bible is our infallible translation of Holy Scripture from the Textus Receptus manuscripts and reject the liberal translations of the Alexandrian manuscripts. The Paw Creek church is a wonderful family of clean cut Godly saints that are given to the ministries reflected on this website. We are part of a fellowship of churches. I am the General Overseer of the "Bible Holiness Ministerial Fellowship", with ministers in four foreign countries and across America. Our fellowship was organized in November of 1998 and is providing wonderful ministry for a growing list of Classical Pentecostal churches.

The Classical Pentecostals believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Our difference with Charismatics is our belief in the Sovereignty of the Holy Ghost in all gifts of the Spirit and we reject the insane emotions connected to it that they call the anointing. Each believer is responsible for order in their worship and praise in the Spirit's operation. Paul plainly said, "The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet." (I Corinthians 14:32) Uncontrolled emotions are the work of evil spirits or undisciplined people, but never the work of the Holy Ghost. The Book of Acts is a perfect example of a Holy Ghost revival beautifully operating without fanaticism. The gifts of the Holy Ghost are imperative for today's church. That's why Satan has produced the Charismatic counterfeit. (Please read the article on this website entitled, "Charismatics False Teaching")

The local church, named Paw Creek Ministries, where I am Senior Minister operates a number of beautiful ministries. Our Christian Academy cares for children between 2 years old and the 12th grade. We registered over 75 students this school year. Our curriculum is ABeka and our school is a traditional program of academic excellence. Our radio ministry is worldwide and our newsletter is in over 50 countries.

We left the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) in 1992, after our congregation voted to withdraw because of the Charismatic compromise, discarding of the King James Bible, and promoting such evangelists as Benny Hinn, etc. The denomination sued us in court for our three million dollar campus that we had built with our own hands, piece by piece. Because the Church of God was central in government, we finally gave up the court fight after we were ruled against by a similar believing Methodist judge. We could have sought another appeal, but had already spent approximately $100,000 on attorney fees.

When we moved out of our buildings on a beautiful 20-acre site, we had nothing but a few things we had purchased during the year long court struggle. We rented a school building and moved a small part of our school into the homes of my family members. K-4 - 1st grade was in Theresa and Mike's home, 2nd and 3rd was in Juanita's and my home, 4th - 6th was in Terry and Anne's home, and high school at Tanya and Rick's. The second year we rented a building on the property we later bought. What an adventure!

It's very evident where we are now and what the Lord is doing through our ministry. Our commitment is to be a great local church with a wonderful program of Christian Education and an academically strong Christian Academy. Beyond the local church, we want to minister to the world by radio, our publications, and to provide the best in good books, videos, audios, and other Christian materials. Strengthening the hands of other ministers and ministries is important to myself, my family, and our entire church family.

When we produce a video, it is to teach some wonderful subject of the Bible in a way that touches as many lives as possible. If we expose a ministry, it is because we are convinced that that ministry is teaching a false gospel and adversely affecting eternal souls.

We welcome you to visit our church in Charlotte, NC, and learn about us first hand. Most people find our family to be one of the kindest congregations they have ever worshipped among. We are Biblical Holiness people, but very careful that you see Jesus in us, and not just our exterior separation from the world by lifestyle. Holiness must begin in the heart and then reach to every extremity of our person. Made in His image, we want to do nothing to defile us, His temple, nor mar His creativity.

I am delighted to share a little bit of who I am and what my personal family and our local church believe. Jesus is soon to return and no one knows the hour. Let's help each other get ready for home-going day just in case it may be tomorrow.
