Two Careers in One Lifetime
Dr. Missler was fond of saying that he enjoyed two careers following his graduation from the United States Naval Academy and service in the armed forces: leading edge technology ventures and biblical studies. Truly the passion of his life was encouraging of others to commit to the serious study of the Bible as the inerrant Word of God.
Biblical Studies and Koinonia House
Dr. Missler’s effort as a Bible scholar, author and teacher lead to him gaining international recognition. Starting with an informal affiliation with Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, California Chuck became known for his insight into the integration of Scripture with science, history and prophecy. Ove the past 40+ years literally millions of Dr. Missler’s teachings has been distributed and enjoyed. From cassette tapes to MP3 audio down loads, from VCR tapes to YouTube videos the message of “The Grand Adventure” has been enjoyed by many.
American Technology Ventures
During his 30-year business career, Chuck served on the Board of Directors of over a dozen public companies, and was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of five of them. Dr. Missler received a Congressional appointment to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Upon graduating with honors, he received his commission in the U.S. Air Force, completed his military obligations, he had become Branch Chief of the Department of Guided
Chuck completed a Masters Degree in engineering at UCLA with additional post-graduate studies in applied mathematics, advanced statistics and information sciences, and completed his PhD at Louisiana Baptist University. His civilian career began as a systems engineer at TRW, followed by a Senior Analyst position in a “think tank” serving both the intelligence community and the Department of Defense.
Recruited by the Ford Motor Company into a Senior Management position, Chuck established the first international industrial computer network in 1966. Leaving Ford to start his own company, he founded a computer networking organization later acquired by Automatic Data Processing (NYSE) to become its Network Services Division. He subsequently served as a consultant to the Board of Directors of Rockwell International for corporate acquisitions (which included Collins Radio, American Data Systems, and others); and has also participated in over 100 business ventures as a principal, strategic advisor, or turnaround specialist.
His final consultancy in the American technology sector was as an advisor to the Super-Wide Area Satellite (SWANsat) System, an international telecommunications venture.
After a lifelong citizen of the United States, Dr. Missler repatriated to New Zealand in 2010 where he resided with his wife Nancy.

Wow A great man of GOD went home… See you soon Chuck… praying for your family…
You mean he is Dead awaiting the Resurrection. He isn’t home yet.
He is awaiting the resurrection of his body
So Sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his family.
Chuck was one of the Christian heroes in my life and an inspiration for prodding me to dig for the gold in God’s word. He will continue to instruct me through the example of his life, his teaching and all the resources he has left for further edification.
Love Love this man, what a great teacher and he soooo knew his Bible, he made me look at the Bible as a LIVING thing and I enjoyed it more after following his teachings! Praying for the family!
At once saddened and rejoicing at the news that Dr. Missler has left us, but he’s gone home to be with his Lord and Savior. I am so very grateful for all the wonderful teaching he left behind and I will be doing Bible studies with Chuck Missler until I, too, leave this world. Dr. Missler had a once-in-a-generation mind and I continue to be astounded by the treasures he found in God’s Word. I pray for peace and comfort to his family.
Chuck, God bless & rip you finally made it home my friend !!!
What a tremendous man of God! He was such a profound teacher. He kept it simple and easy to understand without trying to impress anyone with big words or jargon. He will surely be missed. See you soon brother!
For the past nearly 30 years, my wife and I have gone to bed listening to one of Chuck’s many recorded Bible studies; they have become a part of our very being, bringing us closer and closer to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through the Living Word. Chuck was like a member of our family. One whole wall of our house contains many of his commentaries on cassette or CD. He and I shared the same first name, were both (at one time) ham radio operators, pilots, and our birthdays were one day apart, and I’m probably leaving a few out. In my eighties, I still lead a weekly men’s Bible study. Further, we were almost the same age. I can’t wait to meet him personally – up yonder!
Chuck has mad a very profound impression on me and my walk with the Lord would not be the same without his teachings. May you rest in peace and may I be granted to see you on the other side.
Chick Missler will be sorely missed. Helped me with his online studies so much.
R.I.P. Chuck, Your life is example of what Christ would do, and your sermons and messages have influenced my thoughts and my further outlook for the rest of my life. I cannot express my thanks to God for your life here on Earth, you will surely be missed. Bless the family and close friends you acquired thru out your lifetime, which must be in the millions..As a Air Force veteran, wishing you a safe flight home…….
Shalom. Chuck Missler’s teaching was and will continue to be a blessing to me and so many other believers in Yeshua. Praise God.
Love You Chuck Thanks for our time together Tot
THANK YOU FATHER
Truly the most influential Bible scholar on you tube to influence my life in the most positive way. Combining science, mathematics, engineering to reveal how wonderful our creator is…….seek Him while their is still time! Thank You Chuck
Ahh Chuck, I have been watching your videos for years. My sister just brought it to my attention you died. You are an inspiration and somebody I recommend on a weekly basis when witnessing to the lost. Every parent should watch your Genesis Series with their kids so that they are convinced God (Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit) is real, active, and ready to participate in our lives. I look forward to tipping the Chalice with you in heaven. My condolences to his family.
