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 and a live weekly WebClass
Bible Study are also
streamed live on the church's web site.
The Communication Ministry is responsible for the church's online magazine,
First Things First; and
publishes Wednesday Night News and the Sunday
worship bulletin. We also
provide other publishing services, such as promotional
brochures and educational materials.
Other areas of the Communication Ministry include:
- The church's web site;
- Maintenance of the church's social media outreach;
- 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, and two
grandchildren.
