David Ward - Pastor at Allensville Baptist Church - Mount Pleasant, TN

I have been married to Jennifer Ward for 18 years. I achieved a BA in Business Management from Coastal Carolina University in 1995.  I have been preaching as an Evangelical Preacher since 1997. I was Licensed to preach in 17 March 2010 and Ordained on the 24th of February 2013 by First Family Baptist Church of Columbia, TN.   I have been the Pastor at Allensville Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant, TN since 24 June 2012 where the church has grown from average worship attendance of 30 to a current average attendance of 65. Jesus Christ has saved 45 souls for Baptism since I have been the Pastor at Allensville.

I have preached in many areas in the Southeastern part of the United States as well as in Iraq and Kuwait.  I am a combat veteran who was deployed to Iraq from 2007 to 2008. During that time frame I started a church which led to countless lives being saved. I preached to Muslims who were converted to Christianity and gave their lives to Jesus Christ. We had multi-national members of our church to include countries such as Iraq, Kuwait, Egypt, Sri Lanka, the United States, the Philippines, Kenya and Uganda. The church which started on my deployment in August of 2007 lasted through the end of Iraqi Freedom in December of 2011. We started with 5 members; this church grew to 80 plus members strong from the time we began until the end of the war.

I have worked for 20 years with the Federal Government in Nashville, TN.  I have also served in the US Army for the last 31 years and I am currently a Chief Warrant Officer Four in the Tennessee Army National Guard.

I have been born to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses and it is a Blessing to do so.
