Lead Pastor David Gilchrist with Margy Gilchrist

David And Margy

David loves the Lord, and loves the Lord’s church. Originally from Warrimoo in the Blue Mountains, and after living for 9 years in Bega on the far South Coast, David moved to the Central Coast in 2009 to be a pastor of Ettalong Baptist Church.  David has a passion for healthy churches that honour the Lord and love people, as Christ loves them.  Nothing makes him happier than seeing God at work in people’s lives to bring Faith, Hope and Love!   

Before being a Pastor, David was a horticulturalist, working for large nursery in the Blue Mountains.  He is married to Margy and they have two adult children, Lizzie and Joseph.  David enjoys walking and philately (stamp collecting) and spending time with freinds over a good coffee.
