About First Baptist Atlanta

Founded in 1848 by Pastor D.G. Daniell, under the commission of the Baptist State Convention, First Baptist Atlanta has become a staple of a community and city of believers.  Following the leadership and guidance of Dr. Charles F. Stanley since 1971, First Baptist Atlanta is considered to be the foundation of spiritual development for a multitude of followers internationally.

Addressing social and spiritual concerns such as parenting, finances, personal crises, emotions and relationships, FBA guides believers through the inerrant word of God for the purpose of personal spiritual growth.  Through an applicable reference to God's Word, FBA focuses on prayer, the character of God, fellowship through the Holy Spirit and the Person of Jesus Christ.  First Baptist Atlanta continually works to service the needs of believers, followers, and seekers of God's holiness through various missions, ministries, and programs.

Beginning in 1982, In Touch Ministries was incorporated to distribute the teachings and guidance of Dr. Stanley and First Baptist Atlanta to an expanded audience.  Together, the teaching of Dr. Stanley and beliefs of FBA are available globally via radio, television broadcast, audio and video tapes, CDs, DVDs, pamphlets, books, and an award-winning daily devotional magazine, In Touch.

First Baptist Atlanta is inspired to continue its efforts and Spirit-driven desire to do God’s work, delivering the Gospel to “as many people as possible, as clearly as possible, as irresistibly as possible, and as quickly as possible – all to God’s glory.”
