 David Shelor was born and raised in Black Mountain, North Carollina as the son of a Presbyterian pastor.  After graduating from Davidson College in Davidson NC, he worked for four years as an engineer in Atlanta before entering Columbia Theological Seminary there.  David served for seven years as the pastor of Carrollton Presbyterian Church in Carrollton GA before coming to Tampa to start St. Andrew.  He has also served churches in Stone Mountain GA and Ghana, West Africa.  He received his Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Theological Seminary.  He, his wife "Bert", and their two children love being in Tampa as a part of St. Andrew.  "People still want to have an experience of God and know that God has more meaning and purpose for their lives than just buying stuff and living day-to-day," David claims.  "I am excited to be a part of a community of people who are finding God's presence and listening for God's call in their lives."
