David Roach has served as pastor of Emmanuel since July 2005. He is committed to the inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of God's Word and believes that the Bible holds the answers to life's greatest problems. For that reason, he preaches the Bible verse-by-verse, thought-by-thought. His goal is to produce a God-centered, biblically literate, evangelistic body of believers who impact the world with the Gospel.

David holds a Ph.D. and a master of divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville as well as a bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. He writes for the Bible teaching website Biblemesh.com and the website for pastors Kairosjournal.org. He also does freelance writing for various organizations and publications. David has written columns that have appeared in Shelbyville's Sentinel-News. Click here to read some of David's columns.
