Charles Stanley

In Touch Ministries · Southern Baptist

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was a Southern Baptist pastor and broadcaster who served for decades as senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta and as the founder of In Touch Ministries. Through television, radio, and print, his teaching reached millions across the United States and around the world. Stanley preached in a clear, expository Baptist style, often walking verse by verse through Scripture while applying biblical truth to daily decisions, suffering, and spiritual growth.

Listeners valued his steady voice, practical counsel, and repeated emphasis on relying on God in every circumstance. His long-running ministry archive remains a go-to resource for Christians seeking straightforward Bible teaching.
