ELDER DAVID HALL, JR.
My name is David Hall, JR. I am the husband of Ayesha Quick-Hall, and the father of David A. Hall, III and Aiden Lee Hall. My resume will demonstrate to you both my accomplishments and skills. They are significantly important to me
and I hope impressive to you, but they pale in comparison to the responsibility that God has provided to me through the call to ministry. I do bring with me administration skills, theological education, secular education and work experience, but i also bring a Holy Ghost inspired preaching ministry, a teaching ministry, and a collection pastoral experiences in both the Parish and institutional settings. I also serve and have served the Church Of God In Christ in several roles and presently serve as a member of the Trustee Board of the Church Of God In Christ. Vision and service are the aims of the ministry God has given me charge of. It has been my privilege to have the opportunities and experiences I have had so early in my life. I hope that I can employ them in the service of this jurisdiction.
