DAVID H.J.GAY
David H. Gay
David Gay was born in 1940 and came to faith at sixteen years of age. A year later, he began to preach. He was for 25 years a Mathematics teacher before taking up full time responsibilities as a Reformed Baptist teaching elder for 20 years.
David began his Christian life as an Arminian Baptist but eventually came to a Reformed understanding of the faith. While at university, and for a short time after, he became a part of the Open Brethren. In 1977, he and his wife Jean, along with three other couples, formed a Reformed Baptist church of which he became an elder. Over time, through his expository preaching in Hebrews and Galatians, as well as extensive research and stimulating conversation, he began to take a new covenant position. He continued with an itinerant preaching ministry until 2025 when in his mid-80s but still gives some attention to his writing ministry (davidhjgay.com).
He and his late wife have three adult children, all of whom are believers and married, one of whom himself is engaged in a regular preaching and teaching ministry. David has nine grandchildren and at latest count seven great grandchildren.
