Biography
Stanley received a bachelor's degree in journalism from Georgia State University and later earned a master's degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. After working for several years as Associate Pastor and Minister to Students at First Baptist Atlanta, he and five others founded North Point Community Church in 1995.

North Point Ministries has also helped plant more than 20 strategic partner churches in the US and Canada. In 2010 a survey of U.S. pastors found Stanley to be the 10th most influential living preacher. Buckhead Church was featured in a 2006 article in USA Today regarding its innovative use of high-definition video in the place of a live speaker.
In January 2009, Stanley was selected to be the fourth speaker at the National Prayer Service following the Presidential inauguration.
In addition, Andy Stanley has been a frequent speaker at Willow Creek Association's Global Leadership Summit. The Summit was founded by Bill Hybels in 1995.
