Background

Charles Andrew Stanley was born on May 16, 1958, in Atlanta, GA. His father is Charles Stanley, the former senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and the founder of InTouch Ministries. At the age of 12, Charles became a born-again Christian. At the age of 14, he began his work in the Christian ministry. Stanley received a bachelor's degree in Journalism from Georgia State University. He then earned a master's degree from the Dallas Theological Seminary.

Andy's father divorced his mother, Anna Johnson, in the year 2000. The split caused a minor controversy at the Southern Baptist Convention. The matter was complicated by reports that Stanley had said he would resign as a pastor if he ever became divorced. The members of the church overwhelmingly voted to keep him on as pastor. According to First Baptist Atlanta's bylaws, Stanley would be able to keep his post as long as he did not remarry.
