Since 1995, Rev. Dr. C. D. Stuart has shepherded the congregation of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur with unwavering commitment, spiritual wisdom, and a deep love for both the church family and the broader community. He is married to the beautiful Dr. Gladys Stuart, and they have three adult children: Rev. Cledus Stuart, Rev. Carlos Deon Stuart, and Kelly Stuart-Brown.
Over the past three decades, his pastoral leadership has become a steadfast cornerstone—marked by compassion, stability, and a servant’s heart. Whether officiating significant life moments or guiding members toward deeper discipleship, Dr. Stuart has upheld the values of faith, unity, and outreach that define Antioch.
Through his guidance, the church has thrived, bringing hope and healing, fostering fellowship across generations, and reflecting Christ’s love in action. His ministry is a testament to enduring faithfulness and quiet strength.
