David Kuykendall was a graduate of Decatur Baptist College, Hardin-Simmons University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Early in his ministry he served Texas churches in Montague, Stamford, Fort Worth, Alvord, McKinney and Greenville and in Beloit, Wisconsin. He was pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Oak Cliff in Dallas for 27 years, leading the church to reach its urban neighborhood and teaching about living an abundant life through God's grace. After retirement, he served at Royal Haven, Wynnewood and Kessler Park Baptist churches in Dallas. He wrote weekly devotions and several books on how to have a relationship in union with Christ and living by grace. These books are available on this web site.

David had served several churches as pastor. Yet he knew there was a quality of the Christian life he had not experienced since he was a teenager. Twenty-three years of prayer for that life had not brought the change he longed for. In deep despair he began to ask God to kill him if He could not change him. In a matter of days God began answering his prayer for change. He answered by teaching him the New Testament "union in Christ" message. From the day he first saw the basic truth of his union in Christ and how it led to a life of living by grace, changes in his life began. He knew immediately that what God had shown him was the message needed by his fellow believers. He began immediately sharing the message.

David passed from this life to the next on July 17, 2014 at the age of 84.  He was very certain about his future with Jesus and completely unafraid.  He is now fully living the union with Christ he always taught.
