About David Hull
Since 1980 David Hull has served as pastor of five very different kinds of churches. Beginning with a rural church in Kentucky, his ministry then moved to a new church plant in the suburbs of Charlotte, NC which was followed by a small town “county seat First Baptist” in Laurens, South Carolina. From the small town he moved to a downtown First Baptist located next to a university in Knoxville, TN and then for twelve years was the pastor of First Baptist Church in the “Rocket City” of Huntsville, Alabama. Each ministry opportunity has broadened his understanding of the church and deepened his love for congregations of all kinds.
In 2014 David transitioned from pastoral ministry and began working with CHC when his wife, Jane, was called to be the pastor of Union Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Watkinsville, GA. In addition to his consulting work David has served as an Adjunct Professor at McAfee School of Theology of Mercer University and as an Interim Pastor in several churches throughout the Southeast. David and Jane have two children and three grandchildren and they now live in Winston-Salem, NC.
