About Calvin Robinson

Born in Chicago, Calvin Robinson always had a fondness for reading and public speaking. Joining the US Army at the age of eighteen, he traveled the world learning from and with diverse cultures. That experience shapes his worldview that above all things people desire to be understood.
Calvin has worked in the religious field in various roles: radio personality, conference director, public speaker, and finally pastor of a small church less than three miles from the place he was bred in Chicago. Besides this work, he is energized by serving people with special needs.

Curious by nature, over the years Calvin has flourished into a generalist, knowledgeable in a wide array of subjects, most of which informs his present work as a pastor.

Calvin's approachable style, soothing voice, and command of many subjects gives listeners the confidence to journey with him as he communicates, informs, and entertains.
