DAVID LANGLEY

PULPIT MINISTER

David was raised in Columbia, Tennessee, and graduated from Freed-Hardeman University with a BA in Bible in 2002 and an MA in New Testament in 2008. He chose to be a preacher while at FHU because he loved all Bible classes and was inspired by participation in foreign mission trips while growing up. After college David lived in China for seven years, teaching English and working with the Christian foundation Agape Asia. In between China stints, he was a youth minister at Central church of Christ in Cleveland, TN, for three years. Since 2013 David has been the preacher for Seneca church of Christ. He loves teaching the Bible to people eager to grow in God's Word, whether they are just beginning or have been Christians for decades. One of his favorite Bible passages is Colossians 1:13-14, "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

David has been married to his amazing wife YaNing since 2004. They have three children: Rei, Aryana, and Talia. In his free time, David enjoys reading and traveling with his family. He also enjoys almost every sport ever invented and many outdoor activities (hiking, biking, kayaking) in the great state of South Carolina. He and his family are thankful to God for the opportunity to live and work with the Seneca church of Christ!
