Who is David Bearden?
​

Thank you for visiting my website.
​
​I am a follower of Jesus Christ, husband, father, teacher, and ministry leader who has a passion for helping people understand God's Word and grow in their relationship with Him. For more than thirty-five years, God has given me opportunities to serve in a variety of ministry and leadership roles including pastor, elder, deacon, Bible teacher, discipleship leader, college instructor, and corporate management.

I hold a Master of Theology (ThM), with honors, from Dallas Theological Seminary with a concentration in Christian Education. In addition, I earned both bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science from Southern Polytechnic State University. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed teaching in a variety of settings, including local churches, Bible institutes, colleges, small groups, and leadership development environments.
​
My ministry experience includes serving as Executive Co-Senior Pastor of Firewheel Bible Fellowship in Rowlett, Texas, where I helped lead discipleship ministries, leadership development initiatives, strategic planning efforts, and church operations. Today, I continue to serve through teaching and discipleship ministries at First Redeemer Church in Cumming, Georgia, where I teach both Sunday morning and Wednesday evening classes. I also serve on the advisory board of Redeemer Bible Institute.

My passion is teaching Scripture expositionally, helping believers develop a biblical worldview, and equipping people to faithfully follow Christ in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities. Whether teaching a Bible study, mentoring a leader, developing curriculum, or speaking to a group, my desire is to help others know God more deeply, understand His Word more clearly, and live out their faith more effectively.

​In addition to my ministry and teaching experience, I have over 30 years of technology leadership experience and a Master of Science in Computer Science. Today, I am exploring how artificial intelligence can be used responsibly to strengthen Bible study, discipleship, leadership development, and Christian education. My goal is to help churches and believers leverage technology in ways that support sound doctrine and spiritual growth.
​
When I am not teaching or studying, I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife and I have been married for nearly four decades and have been blessed with a wonderful family, including two children, a daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter. Together, we are grateful for God's faithfulness and the privilege of serving Him through the local church.

My prayer is that the resources on this site will encourage you, strengthen your faith, and help you grow in your walk with Christ.
Helping believers understand God's Word, develop a biblical worldview, and faithfully follow Jesus Christ.
