About

“We love because he first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19

Revd. Charlie Styles currently leads OCCA’s team, after spending 12 years in church leadership.  He loves teaching the Bible and is responsible for setting the direction and culture of OCCA.

Coming from the local church, Charlie focusses on how OCCA can support and equip the Church to engage and confidently respond to the world’s ‘big questions.’ He is never happier than when helping people grasp life-changing spiritual truth for the first time.

Charlie is married to Sophie and considers his three wonderful children the most important responsibility God has given him. Aware of his own faults, he seeks to live a life of repentance and faith, daily dependent on God’s grace and kindness.  They live in Burford, Oxfordshire, where Charlie serves as the Minister for Evangelism at their local church.

He dives into how the principles of justice and truth-seeking in the courtroom resonate with his religious beliefs and offers a unique perspective on themes of living a life of authenticity, the intrinsic value of human beings, and finding evidence that leads to the truth even when the truth is uncomfortable.
