Apostle David and his wife, Geraldine, were married in 1968. They began serving the Lord in 1971 and, in 1978, David received the call into full-time ministry. After serving Northeast Georgia as an evangelist, David was led of the Lord to attend RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Under the tutelage of Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin, David and Geraldine learned the value of faith and integrity in the ministry. Upon graduation from RHEMA in 1985, the couple came back to Franklin County to plant a church committed to contending for the faith once delivered to the saints. For 25 years, the Cokers have led this ministry as it has continued to grow and impact the community and raise up generations of Kingdom believers. Apostle David and “Mrs. G” are blessed with five children and five grandchildren, in addition to many spiritual sons and daughters who are contending for the faith alongside them.
