David Powers has served First Baptist Church since 1993.
Perhaps the most visible element of the Communication Ministry is the weekly television
program, which airs on Richmond's WRIC-TV8 Sunday mornings at 11:00. David serves
as producer of the program. The worship services are also
streamed live on the church's web site.
The Communication Ministry publishes the church magazine,
First Things First, which is available on this
web site and is mailed monthly to church member homes; and Wednesday Night News,
which is available on the dinner tables in the dining hall each week. We also
provide desktop publishing services, such as the Sunday worship bulletin, promotional
brochures, and educational materials.
Other areas of the Communication Ministry include:
- The church's web site;
- Advertising and public relations for the church;
- The Media Resource Ministry, which duplicates and distributes DVDs &
CDs;
- The Sound & Lights Team, which provides technical support for worship services and other events.
David is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Journalism School and
earned his masters degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Prior
to joining the FBC staff David was Media Minister for Broadway Baptist Church
in Fort Worth, Texas (1982–1987) and Production Manager in the Audiovisual
Department of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board (1987–1993).
He has worked in commercial radio and television, advertising and public relations.
David and his wife, Devra have two grown sons: Preston and Alex.
