Before joining Mentor church of Christ as the minister in September 2020, David Ferguson was a full-time minister at the Lake Land church of Christ in Mattoon, IL for seventeen years. He also served as an elder for the congregation for the last three years of his time there. David and his family are excited to be part of the Mentor congregation!

One of David’s favorite Bible verses is Psalm 19:1, “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.” (NASB). This verse has also contributed greatly to his love of astronomy and astrophotography, a hobby that has allowed him to share the splendors of God’s creation with others through photos.

He is also a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and looks forward to the time when fans can safely attend games again.

David has been married to his wife, Carey, for thirty-one years. Together they have four sons, one grandchild, and another grandchild is expected this fall.

David’s office hours are 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm Monday through Thursday. Appointments outside of these hours may be available upon request.
