Dr. David Kemp started college as a music major, but God changed his interests and he switched to Bible and pastoral ministry. He taught Bible at Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for 18 years, right up to the day the school closed its doors. Since the first Sunday of 2016, he has served as pastor of Hickory Valley Baptist Church in Chattanooga. And over the years, he has still had plenty of opportunities to serve the Lord with music! His favorite Scripture verse is Psalm 145:3. He and his wife of 40 years, Carolyn, have three children – Melody, Angela, and James – and three grandchildren.
Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:3
I have known Dr. Kemp since my college days when he was my professor for New Testament and Bible Doctrines. I consider him to be one of my mentors. He is a good example of faithfulness. His zeal for the Word of God is infectious. I will never forget sitting under his teaching, learning about the timeless universal truths we find in Scripture.
Pray for this man, his family, and his ministry.
At REvive Ministries we know that no ministry or minister is perfect. However, we desire to rejoice in and encourage all those that are actively doing the work of the ministry. Featured ministers or ministries are ones that our ministry thinks the Lord can use to bring revival to the church in America.
