Dr. Creflo A. Dollar is the founder and senior pastor of World Changers Church International
(WCCI) in College Park, Georgia which serves nearly 30,000 members, and World Changers
Church-New York which hosts over 6,000 worshippers each week. With more than 25
years in ministry, Dr. Dollar is committed to bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ
to people all over the world, literally changing the world one person at a time.
A former educational therapist, Dr. Dollar received the vision for World Changers
Christian Center in 1986. He held the church’s first worship service in the cafeteria
of Kathleen Mitchell Elementary School in College Park with only eight people in
attendance. Over the years the ministry grew rapidly and was renamed World Changers
Church International. The congregation moved from the cafeteria to a modest-sized
chapel, adding a weekly radio broadcast and four services each Sunday. On December
24, 1995, WCCI moved into its present location, the 8,500-seat sanctuary known as
the World Dome. At a cost of nearly $18 million, the World Dome was built without
any bank financing. The construction of the World Dome is a testament to the miracle-working
power of God and remains a model of debt-freedom that ministries all over the world
emulate.
A native of College Park, Dr. Dollar received a bachelor’s degree in education,
a master’s degree in counseling and a doctorate in counseling. He was awarded an
honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Oral Roberts University in 1998. He is the
publisher of CHANGE magazine, a quarterly international publication with nearly
100,000 subscribers, and The Max, a bimonthly resource newsletter for ministers
and ministry leaders. His award-winning Changing Your World
television broadcast
reaches nearly one billion homes in practically every country in the world.
A much sought-after conference speaker and best-selling author, Dr. Dollar is known
for his practical approach to the Bible and has encouraged thousands to pursue a
personal relationship with God. Dr. Dollar and his wife, Taffi, have five children
and live in Atlanta.
