Interview: Rev. David Carpenter
Reverend David Carpenter’s journey to the ministry was not a straight path. God began tugging at his heart in high school. Despite an initial desire to study history, Rev. Carpenter found that his calling intensified after college, leading him to obtain a master’s degree in Arkansas in 1993 and subsequently enroll at Memphis Theological Seminary. Ordained in 1998, Rev. Carpenter has dedicated his life to preaching and serving his community ever since.
