Dr. D. Stuart Briscoe is an evangelical Christian author, international speaker and the former senior pastor of Elmbrook Church, in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Elmbrook is the largest church in Wisconsin, averaging 7,000 in attendance per week, making it one of the 100-largest churches in the United States.[citation needed] Briscoe is credited with transforming Elmbrook from a church of 300 members to one of the largest churches in America.
Briscoe was called as senior pastor to Elmbrook in 1970, after a banking career in England and an international ministry under the auspices of Capernwray Missionary Fellowship of Torchbearers. During his pastorate, Elmbrook grew tremendously and planted a number of "daughter" churches in the Greater Milwaukee area, while Briscoe also continued his international teaching ministry. He has written more than 40 books and the media ministry, Telling the Truth, which he founded in 1971, continues to operate.[2]
In 2000, after serving for 30 years as Elmbrook's senior pastor, Briscoe and his wife, Jill, embarked on new ministries as Elmbrook's Ministers-at-Large, concentrating on reaching out to pastors, missionaries and church leaders around the world, while still maintaining close ties with Elmbrook, their home church. Briscoe and his wife have three adult children and 13 grandchildren and the couple resides in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.[1][3][4]
