Rev. David L. McIntosh, Jr.
MEET OUR PASTOR

Rev. David L. McIntosh, Jr.

Senior Pastor

Pastor McIntosh serves as Senior Pastor of McIlwain Memorial Presbyterian Church, where he was called in 2022. His call to ministry took root at Clemson University through Reformed University Fellowship and the encouragement of the elders at Clemson Presbyterian Church. He went on to earn an M.Div. from Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, then served on staff at Twin Oaks Presbyterian Church in St. Louis and Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church in Greenville, SC, and Hartsville Presbyterian Church in Hartsville, SC.

Pastor McIntosh is a “plain style” preacher, convicted that the whole Bible points to Jesus Christ, and therefore, walking you into each passage preached with a view to orienting you in it sufficiently enough that you can meet the Christ in the middle of it. He is married to Amie, and they have four grown children and a daughter-in-law. When he is not in the study or visiting members, David can usually be found in his woodshop or making improvements around the house.

“It will take the whole of your life to give the whole of your life to Jesus Christ.”

Installed July 2023

HOW WE ARE GOVERNED

Led by Elders, Served by Deacons

As a Presbyterian congregation in the PCA's Gulf Coast Presbytery, McIlwain is shepherded by a plurality of ordained officers.

The Session

Our elders (ruling and teaching), moderated by Rev. David L. McIntosh, Jr., oversee the spiritual life of the church: guarding doctrine, shepherding members, and leading in worship.

The Diaconate

Our deacons attend to the practical needs of the congregation and community: ministries of mercy, care, and stewardship that free the church to worship and serve.
