David Fuller
Edit ProfileCareer
He pastored Chelsea Baptist Church in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the well known Wealthy Street Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thirteen-year-old Fuller committed to the Christian faith in April 1916 at a Chapman-Alexander (John Wilbur Chapman and Charles Alexander) revival meeting in North Carolina and was baptized in the First Baptist Church of New York City by Doctor I. M. Haldeman. The title of the sermon he heard that day was "What Wilt Thou Say When He Shall Punish Thee."
Doctor Fuller served as a United States Navy chaplain in World World War II, then for the next 45 years he was a pastor in a civilian capacity.
He helped establish the Children"s Bible Hour in 1942, and was the chairman of this large ministry for 33 years.
A great love for the Bible was one of the distinguishing features of Fuller’s life and ministry. By the time he retired from 40 years as pastor of the Wealthy Street Baptist Church in 1974, he had read the Bible through 75 times.
Fuller dedicated much of his life to the defense of the Byzantine text-type as embodied in the Textus Receptus and, largely, the King James Version. In February 1988, Fuller died at Blodgett Memorial Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
