David received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior as a nine-year-old during Vacation Bible School at Westwood Baptist Church in Live Oak, Florida. He was nurtured in a loving and caring family, church, and youth group. As a result, he surrendered to full-time Christian service at the age of seventeen.
For the past two and a half years, David has worked as a Discipleship/Revitalization Consultant with the Suwannee, North Florida, and this year, Middle Florida Associations leading pastors through a 7 month-long study of personal and church revitalization principles. He has provided one-on-one coaching for cohort pastors and leaders and developed those leaders into teams in Suwannee, North Florida, and North Central Florida Associations. He has also assisted Associations through supply preaching, leading conferences and private counseling. He has made himself available to our Middle Florida pastors and Association leadership for guidance during this past year and has really impacted the lives of cohort participants through his leadership.
David was voted in as our Associational Mission Strategist at our Fall Annual Meeting in October of 2022 and we are excited to have him on board. David and his wife Donnie live in Live Oak and have 3 grown children. His hobbies include reading, watching movies, solving puzzles, playing games, and spending time with family, especially his four grandchildren.
