Chambers could not read or write until age 16, at the time of his conversion to Christianity. Prior to this, his alcoholic father committed suicide.

After receiving General Educational Development (GED), he studied through Montreat Anderson College and has a Doctorate of Divinity Degree from Indiana Christian University, and a Doctorate of Sacred Literature from Bethany Theological Seminary.

If the reference to Montreat Anderson College is to be retained, this statement should be expanded to document the awarding of a degree, if appropriate. The grammar should be improved by substituting the word "at" for "through" if he attended the institution, and the first clause should be altered as well. If he did not attend the college, but studied "at a distance," this fact should be noted.

He was on the National Republican Congressional Committee from 1982—1990, and has been on the Mecklenburg Republican Executive Committee since 1990 to this day.

In 1992, Paw Creek Ministries and their pastor, Joseph Chambers, withdrew from the ranks of the Church of God based out of Cleveland TN over a conflict involving doctrinal issues about the Charismatic movement, a departure from the King James Bible and holiness. Subsequently, Paw Creek Ministries was sued by the Church of God in a long court battle, resulting in the seizure of their 20 acre...3 million dollar complex.

He is the Founder & President of Paw Creek Christian Academy (1974—Present), a Radio Host of One Hour Weekly Program, OPEN BIBLE DIALOGUE (1972—Present), the Founder & Chairman of Concerned Charlotteans (1983—Present), and the Co-Founder of Concerned Voice for Child Care (1985—Present).

He is the General Overseer of the Bible Holiness Ministerial Fellowship, which was organized in November 1998, and has ministers in the US and four foreign countries.

He is also member of The Pre Tribulation Research Centre, which associates him with Grant Jeffrey, Tim Lahaye, and Dave Hunt.

Pastor Chambers' website is www.pawcreek.org. He uses his website to expose people as false prophets. He has attacked Oprah Winfrey on his website and through his email newsletters.

He has gone through several webmasters in the past few years because he is extremely demanding.

He claims his web and media ministry cost him $100,000 a year.
