Evangelist Dave Hardy
Bro. Hardy was saved at the age of fourteen in Texas, under the preaching of Pastor Bud Arrant. After high school, he served aboard the submarine USS Sennet (SS408) for four years. During this time, he married his wife, Grace, and their son, Wayne, was born. Dave held services on the Sennet while at sea, and God used that time and experience to call him into full-time ministry. After being discharged, Dave attended Arlington Baptist College. They moved to Springfield, Missouri, in 1967, where he attended and graduated from Baptist Bible College. After working on the staff at Seminole Baptist Temple for three years, he accepted the call to become pastor of Eastland Baptist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bro. Hardy and his wife travel the country preaching and encouraging churches and their pastors.
