The Christian community is mourning the passing of Creflo Dollar, a prominent televangelist, author, and pastor, who has left an indelible mark on the world of faith and ministry. At 63 years old, Dollar’s journey on Earth has come to an end, but his legacy of preaching, teaching, and inspiring millions will continue for generations.
A Life Dedicated to Faith and Ministry
Born on January 28, 1962, Creflo Augustus Dollar Jr. grew up with a deep passion for faith. His spiritual journey led him to establish World Changers Church International (WCCI) in 1986, a ministry that started with just a handful of believers and grew into one of the largest megachurches in the world, located in College Park, Georgia. Over the years, WCCI expanded globally, with thousands of members and millions of viewers tuning in to hear his messages through his television program, “Changing Your World.”
Dollar’s teachings focused on faith, prosperity, and living a victorious life through the power of God. His influence reached far beyond the pulpit, touching lives through books, broadcasts, conferences, and charitable efforts. His sermons, often centered on financial prosperity, personal development, and unwavering faith in God, resonated with people from all walks of life.
An Impact That Transcended Borders
Creflo Dollar was not just a preacher—he was a spiritual guide, mentor, and leader whose words reached millions across the globe. His ability to break down complex biblical principles into practical, everyday wisdom made him one of the most influential televangelists of his generation.

His social media presence, particularly on Facebook and YouTube, allowed him to connect with an even broader audience. His teachings on faith-based financial principles, overcoming adversity, and the importance of family strengthened many lives.
A Family Man and Devoted Husband
Beyond his public persona, Dollar was a devoted husband and father. He was married to Taffi Dollar, a fellow minister and leader in their church. Together, they built not only a ministry but also a family rooted in faith and service. His love for his family was evident in the way he spoke about them and the way he integrated family values into his teachings.
Taffi Dollar, who played a crucial role in their ministry, has often spoken about her husband’s unwavering faith, generosity, and dedication to helping others. Their children were also raised in the faith, and many expect that the Dollar family will continue his legacy in the years to come.
