Rev. Chalker leads a congregation of several hundred people. University Circle United Methodist Church has grown through a merger of Epworth United Methodist Church and the First United Methodist Church. Chalker led the latter. When the two congregations merged a few years ago, they moved into the historic building once named Epworth. It is one of the most visible structures in Cleveland's University Circle area with its steeple rising into the air.

Kenneth Chalker is a man of strong words and strong faith. He said too often American society has not looked long enough at the spiritual side of life.
