Carter Conlon
Carter Conlon (born 1953) is a Canadian-born American pastor and author. He is best known as the former senior pastor of Times Square Church in New York City.
Conlon was born and raised in Noranda, Quebec. He graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, where he received a bachelor's degree in law and sociology. In 1987, he left his 12-year career as a police officer to enter full-time ministry. He founded a church, a Christian school, and a food bank in Riceville, Canada. He owned and operated a sheep farm as well. During those years, he also traveled throughout the country, speaking at various churches from Prince Edward Island to Alberta, to the Inuit in the Arctic.
In 1994, he joined the pastoral staff of Times Square Church at the invitation of founding pastor David Wilkerson. He was appointed to the office of senior pastor in 2001. Conlon announced in February 2020 that he would be stepping down as senior pastor of Times Square Church in May of the same year, passing the leadership to Tim Dilena, in order to focus on his radio ministry, speaking, and writing books.
Conlon and his wife, Teresa, have three children and eight grandchildren.
Located at 237 West 51st in Manhattan, Times Square Church is an interdenominational church with more than 10,000 people in attendance, representing more than 100 different nationalities. Their pastors believe that God has ordained the church to be a testimony of God's love and mercy to New York City and beyond. A major emphasis at Times Square Church is giving aid to the poor, the hungry, the destitute and the addicted.
In 2006, Conlon called together the churches of New York City to congregate for one hour of prayer in Times Square. As a result, Prayer in the Square was birthed and Christians from all denominations assembled on Broadway. The prayer gathering grew from 50,000 in 2009 to 80,000 live and 17.1 million online in 2021. Conlon and the Times Square Church choir led this event, which was attended by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who declared that Sunday as Prayer in the Square Day.
In 2010, Conlon created "For Pastors Only" in response to multiple requests he received from ministers seeking spiritual fathering. This online resource airs bi-weekly devotionals recorded by Conlon and an advisory team, currently accessed by more than 5,000 pastors worldwide.
Conlon's 1-minute daily devotionals, It's Time to Pray, are broadcast on over 300 Christian radio stations nationwide 5 days per week, summoning the nation to prayer, and are featured on 1010 WINS, the nation's most listened to all-news station.
