William P. Campbell

Founder & President

The son of the founders of Community Bible Study, Bill knows from personal experience that people grow in spiritual depth and Biblical knowledge when they use carefully constructed Bible studies illuminated with well researched commentary background. Bill saw Community Bible Study develop from his parents’ living room to an international ministry serving many thousands of people. Having written commentaries for Community Bible Study, he began writing material for the churches he pastored so he could connect Sunday sermons to weekly devotional reading, and small group Bible studies. He tested and improved materials in congregations over a period of 15 years, and through his Doctor of Ministry studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, he researched the most effective ways to build the BNEXT ministry. He also holds a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Seminary and a Bachelor of Biology from Westmont College. Bill has written a variety of articles, publications, and books. Bill serves as executive director and president of the board for Scripture Awakening.

Director • Finance

Bob accepted Jesus Christ in 1972, while living in Washington, DC. Bob has experienced a closeness to God through financial and health challenges, and uncertainties of the future that have all strengthened his faith in the Lord. Having been a member of several churches in seven states, Bob has found that people are thirsting for God’s Word, but believes many churches do not encourage their members to study the Word and get to know God personally. Starting his career as a federal anti-trust lawyer, Bob served as executive vice president of a major national energy association, then founded a startup energy company. Later Bob directed national government affairs’ activities as vice-president of a major international environmental corporation.
