About Pastor David

David Talley has lived in Loudon, Tennessee for the past two years and has served on the FCA Ft. Loudoun board for a year and a half. He is the Lead Pastor of First Baptist Church of Tellico Village and brings a deep passion for the gospel and its reach.

David’s heart beats for making Jesus known—believing we must do all we can to share the good news, starting in our own communities and reaching to the ends of the earth. His dedication to the mission of FCA reflects that same calling: to impact the world for Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.

He is married to Joni and proud dad to Amanda, who lives in Knoxville, and Andrew, who serves with FCA alongside his wife, Hannah. David also cherishes his role as “Papa T” to his grandchildren, Ezekiel (“Zekester”) and Corrie (“Boom Boom”).

Fun fact—David has a pretty solid 3-point jump shot, and he’s a proud fan of the Crimson Tide: Roll Tide!
