American evangelist (
born Nov. 3, 1930, Augusta, Ga.
died Sept. 5, 2007, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
was dedicated to spreading conservative Christianity through his broadcasts on radio and the outreach programs he established. After becoming (1960) pastor of the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Kennedy increased his congregation from about 40 members to more than 10,000. The tremendous success of his ministry led to a weekly syndicated program, The Coral Ridge Hour, which by 2007 had reached audiences of some 3.5 million nationally. Kennedy founded (1967) the Evangelism Explosion clinic to teach Christians how to spread the gospel, and in 1974 he began broadcasting his sermons from his own radio station. Kennedy founded (1994) an outreach group called the Center for Christian Statesmanship, which offered biblical studies to members of the U.S. Congress, and he also formed the Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, which sought to educate people about political activism.
