Am appalled by this extravagance, Christians continue to be duped by these wolves in sheep clothing. No wonder his wife divorced him, figured out he wasn’t real. Still Love Jesus, just find it hard to love the greedy.
Jesus said many are called but few are chosen
His ministry takes in over 72 million a year, if he was the ceo of a major corp. he would be referred for his small salary. Who knows maybe FBC Atl does not pay him? From his sermons he truly is a man of God.
Dr. stanley is a true man of God.
You think he makes a lot, try his li’l boy Andy. There’s nothing wrong with them making money off of preaching the Word. There’s a clear precedent for it in the Bible. Jesus, after all, was filthy rich and earned a significant salary as the Son of God. His life is clearly modeled as a business leader, so it’s only fair that the Stanley men rake in millions.
Gee, I wonder where you get your facts? If Dr. Stanley does indeed receive near $300,000 compensation per year then as far as I am concerned he is a real bargain. He is worth a lot more than that – and secondly, if he has saved even one life? (easy to assume at least that) then his near $300,000 compensation has more than paid for itself with that one life, or and salvation alone. Dr. Stanley is one of a kind…..and we should all be thankful for his wisdom and ministry….regardless of his compensations. He is priceless. If there are any abuses he and the ministry will be accountable. I trust God for His direction with this ministry. Being a minister or pastor is not an easy job…it requires much sacrifice – not to mention the higher degree of accountability to God.
My life changed when I heard Stanley on TV two years ago and I became a genuine born-again believer in Christ after years and years of going down my own road. Thank you Father God, for using Stanley to get to me. Thank you Father God for allowing me to hear his teaching every morning on intouch.org, that is after I pray and get in the word myself. God is good, Stanley is a man of God, people should be careful to call him a wolf. Such should examine themselves and work out their salvation with fear and trembling and …. read their Bible.
Well, I work for his ministry and he only makes around $120,000 from In Touch Ministries. Look it up, it is public record and yes the church pays him also, so maybe total he makes around $299.000 combined. Also, that is a meager salary for being President of a company that takes in $75,000,000 a year and has over 200 employees and a worldwide presence and offices. The man works almost every day of the year and he is almost 80 years old. He is truly a man of God and is not in it for the money. He lives a very humble lifestyle as well. Just because you are a preacher doesn’t mean you should not be rewarded for your hard work.
If he were this or if he were that THEN… the thing is, he’s NOT this or that, he’s a pastor – a man who should model his life after his Christ.
It’s sad that you can only justify his greed by comparing him and his organization to for-profit corporations. Do you not see the irony in this? Using this line of reasoning, you could also say “if he was a drug dealer, he would be making a lot more.”
In the end, it will not matter. The money he keeps for himself could have gone to many useful and needful things in the world. His God will judge him so there’s no purpose in doing so myself.
I AM ONE OF THE BILLION PEOPLE I+ THE WORLD THAT BEEN CONTINUE BEING BORN AGAIN NOW THAT I WENT BACK TO MY OWN COUNTRY FROM AMERICA.WITH THE HELP BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH HIM AND CLEARLY I AM A WITNESS THAT GOD ALMIGHTY SPOKEN TO ME IN EVERY TIME THAT I LEASEN TO HIM PREACH AND I WILL SAY HIS ONE OF THE MAN THAT GOD USED THAT`S WHY I AM CURRENTLY IN THE SCHOOL OF SEMINARY BY THE MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD. GOD OF JACOB, GOD OF ISAAC AND GOD OF ABRAHAM IS STRONGLY SPEAKING THROUGH HIM TO HIS PEOPLE. HE IS THE TRUELY FABORED MAN BY GOD. THE SPIRIT IN HIM GIVE HIM WISDOM THAT MONEY HE HAVE WILL NOT GAIN HIM NOTHING AND I BELIEVED HIS SPIRIT, THE POWER OF HIS TRANSPERING TO MANY LIKE ME…
I call it hypocrisy. these pastors televangelist preach SELF DENIAL yet they want to be paid $100,000 / year.
I heard charles stanley say ‘if you want to be successful, make the other person successful’ but he is paid $300,000 / year
where does it say in the bible that they should be paid with this amount in the $100,000s? and where did the money come from when they say ‘ LET US GIVE OUR OFFERING TO GOD’
Jesus is the judge and everyone will stand before him for his or herself alone. we are not walking in obedience when we judge one another.right or wrong God is looking at everything and we would be wise not to judge anyone after all there is punishment for that.
Matthew7.
Who knows how much he gives to charity and gives away that is not recorded. He deserves much more. Yes ,it is a non-profit organization but he is the CEO. It is a multimillion dollar organization becuase of him. What is a fair salary for a man that runs such a successful organization? I think much more thank 300K.
I watch and listen to Dr. Charles Stanley faithfully. I understand the comments on this board by both views; however, there is nothing wrong with someone reaping the BLESSINGS of teaching the word of God. In today’s day in age, there is what is called payroll. If this were 100 years ago, the town would have passed around a hat and people would have placed pennies in it, for the pastor to “live on”. Dr. Charles Stanley has a very large viewing audience, which is IN FACT due to further blessings from God and Jesus, thus hereby giving him a larger “payroll” to live his life by. None of us can condemn a man for making profit for his ministry for several obvious reasons. The calculations of 2009, have his net assets of about $78,000,000.00 and after expenses, a net asset of over $3,000,000.00. His $299,000.00 a year is pennies in the hat that is passed around the world. Is it his fault, the InTouch Ministries makes a lot and he is paid what he is paid? His teachings are the TRUEST AND THE CLOSEST to Jesus’ own teachings of ALL the evangelists or pastors I’ve ever heard and I would have the MILLIONS of people who watch and listen to back me up on that. The real lesson here isn’t what amt. ends up in the hat. The real lesson is when you listen to him, you hear the true Word of God being spoken. For those concerned with his paystub, perhaps that is just the enemy trying to get you carried into an area completely off that of which is meant to lead you to…….the gospel of Jesus Christ being spoken in it’s truest form, both from the New AND the Old Testament. Dr. Charles Stanley teaches what other evangelists (and I use that term lightly with him) do not! He teach that, God loves us, Jesus died for us and is our sole salvation and TO OBEY GOD. This is something that others do not include in their teachings, thus the term “false prophets” is used. Further, Dr. Charles Stanley told a story once in one of his sermons that when they were wishing for the land they are on now for build/parking lot, a lot of people were handing him things to sell, like wedding rings and such. He himself took his only beloved tangible thing in which to sell, his camera equipment, and he pawned it. He knows sacrafice. The above statements are FACTS and true. Dr. Charles Stanley has a powerful ministry with a powerful resource behind it, and we all know just Who that is.
if charles stanley is not a true man of God,there exist no such person,praise the almighty God for raising up such a powerful witness for himself
I have been following Dr. Stanleys teachings through his sermons and his books for 25years. I have learned more about God’s word and christian living from them than any other preacher I have ever heard. I thank the Lord for a man like him who preaches the word so clearly even I can understand it. As for as the reported salary goes I think he is worth every cent of it and then some.

I agree most people on him defend his salary based on business for profit models. I have no problem with him making money. If he takes money and invest it and it turns into millions I would have no problem. However, in my opinion Jesus would look down on anyone making a lot of money using his name and the word of God to do so.
Dr. Charles F. Stanley is truly God’s servant and God has blessed me and millions of others greatly with His ministry through Dr. Stanley and In Touch Ministries for 35 years as they lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and strengthening the local church. It’s a very humbling experience to be a small part of this great work of God. May God continue to bless their service for His Kingdom.
$300,000 is before taxes.
Then we don’t know how much he spends on his own helping poor.
Lets compare him to the tv evangelists that have jet plan and $100,000 cars and 2 mansions.
I can’t believe you think this is a lot of money. The president of the usa makes this measly sum for running the country. Dr. Stanley is running a huge country for God.
You also have to take into account his experience. Yes he probably started poor even and he obviously doesn’t care about money. He could easily do speaking engagements charging $25,000 a speech.
Lets look at Fannie Mae who paid all their execs over 1 million and they destroyed out country.
No my friend $300,000 is not that much for someone his Dr. Stanleys credentials.
I can tell you they (he) could be charged with exploiting the elderly. My mother has given thousands of dollars to this man. Do you think that when she need nursing care they are going to step in pay for her care because now she has given away her money. It is that self denial pitch again. She will get an ego booster form letter that makes her think this outfit could not get along with out her donation, and at the bottom of the letter is another donation slip. Plus a phone call and once or maybe several times C.S. sent three of their team employees to her very basic trailer home to get more money out of her (96)yrs old. BY the way my mother is extememly eccentric and suffers from demensia. C.S. should be sending her money to buy incontence pads.
I have often watched Dr. Stanley when my mother was alive and could no longer attend church. She always enjoyed watching him and enjoyed his sermons. She felt he was always teaching the truth. It hurts to know that his employees would go to her trailer to get more money out of her at age 96 years. How sad. I don’t want to judge him, but I want to express my terrible disappointment after reading the comment from this section.He certainly seems different than someone like Jim Bakker who is always selling something on his programs instead of teaching the word of God and winning souls.
I have been watching Dr. Stanley for years. He teaches SOUND DOCTRINE. Did you ever notice that any items he makes available for purchase are very reasonably priced? $14-$39? I noticed that other “ministries” charge ridiculous prices for books, dvd’s, etc., around $100! Joel Osteen lives in a 17 thousand square foot house and preaches fluff and has never been to seminary. Look at Jan & Paul Crouch from TBN, look at Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, look up their homes online! I make a blessed salary, about half of Dr. Stanley’s, an I am very grateful to my father in heaven. I don’t say, well, I deserve it, I have worked my way here. Dr. Stanley’s salary is nothing. I know pastor’s salaries in our city which is very small who make more! What do you guys want this man to make? Nothing? If our teachings were only of the true lovers of Christ like Dr. Stanley, Adrian Rogers, my friend Paul Walker of our town and my pastor Dale Thompson of First Baptist Church of Fort Smith, the world would know the TRUTH OF THE WORD. I have to say I am disappointed with Matthew Hagee for consorting with the likes of Benny Hinn and Paul Crouch. I thought he was better than that.
I thank God for Dr. Stanley’s ministry. I have been receiving the Intouch Magazine free of charge since 2007. Because of the magazine I have known Christ better, learned the importance of the word of God, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am very happy that Dr. Stanley is not in it for the money because I am not financially able to support the ministry; yet I am still receiving the magazine that I depend on so dearly. Thank you Dr. Stanley for teaching me to obey God and leave all the consequences to Him. May the Lord continue to smile over you:)
First, if you were real christians, you would know better. All I see here is pure jealousy. Satan obviously lives inside you!
We are not to judge anybody as the rich may be made rich by God. Dont forget that all we have belongs to God.
And you know what? Let’s say they are not sincere. You still can trust God that nobody will remain unpunished for what they have done.
Mind your own business and focus on God. There are much more important things in life than how much someone earn per year!
Well said, Amanda.
