DAVID KESTER
October 1, 1957 — July 22, 2008
David had been serving our congregation as our minister and
pastor since 1987. David died of suddenly and unexpectedly
of natural causes on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at his Cleveland home.
David sought to grow closer to the LORD in his own life.
He asked God to help him preach God's Truth.
Each week, David's message helped us to focus on
our purpose for existence both personally and in community.
Practical steps for living the life God has called us
to live were integrated into each sermon.
