Dr. Charles Stanley

A Strong Church, Part 1

May 7, 2018

The church is not defined by a building, but rather by lives committed to loving God and serving people in His name. In this message, Dr. Stanley describes the many characteristics that make up a strong church and what we can do to contribute to the strength of our own church. Churches must have a vision that extends beyond their doors—spreading the gospel in their communities and around the world.

About Dr. Charles Stanley

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023

Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years. He was also the founder of In Touch Ministries and a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote more than seventy books encouraging people to seek Jesus as their Savior and know Him as their wise and loving Lord. 

Known to audiences around the world through his wide-reaching TV and radio broadcasts, Stanley modeled his 65 years of ministry after the apostle Paul’s message in Acts 20:24: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
