Welch Born: May. 21, 1905 Passed: Sep. 7, 1994 Inducted: 2014 David Lamar Welch was born in Kendricks Ferry, Louisiana, on May 21, 1905. Kendricks Ferry was never the same after a revival came to town, and the ever inquisitive D. L. went to see what it was all about. His mom told him, 'Now don't you get in that church!' He told her not to worry: "That's the hardest church to get into." A strange thing happened to D. L. He started feeling sorry about all the wrong things he had done, and he felt the presence of God pleading with him to seek Him. He found his way to the old altar, and God filled him with His Spirit. He shouted, danced, and talked in tongues all the way home. When he got there, his mother asked, "Did anyone get that Holy Ghost tonight?" It hit him again and he began to shout and spin around and kick over the table and chairs. It wasn't long before he had the house all to himself. His family was not happy about his new-found religion. D.L. met Lottie Holloway and they tied the knot on March 18, 1924. Soon they were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Sarah Margaret, on February 16, 1925. A short time after Sarah's birth, David Lamar Welch received a most important call: the call to preach. The young couple set out with their baby girl to their first revival in Mississippi. They stayed two weeks, went home, got rid of their farm and furniture, and they returned for another revival. He traded around and got himself an old World War I army ambulance, and struck out on the road evangelizing. It was off to Pearl River, Lousiana, and back to Mississippi to the town of Carriere, where about forty people received the Holy Ghost. From there they went to Poplarville, Mississippi, where they held a five-month revival; approximately one hundred received the Holy Ghost. While they were in Poplarville, their first son, David, was born November 25, 1927. Now the four Welches hit the road for Texas, but tragedy was at the end of that road. Their sweet little Sarah took sick and died at the age of three. Oh, the grief and emptiness this young couple must have suffered! The young father prayed, "Why, God? Why did she have to die?" God's reply was, "Can't you trust her in my keeping?" D.L. said, "Yes, Lord. I don't understand, but I will trust." His travel took him to Philadelphia, Mississippi, where their second son, Paul, was born, March 21, 1930. Next D. L. Welch felt led to go to Alabama where he built a church. It was here another son, Daniel, was born October 9, 1932. Finally, in 1933 D. L. Welch boarded a train to Pensacola, Florida, to preach another revival. In 1939 the Welches went back to Leesville, Louisiana, and preached for awhile. During this time another baby boy, Jimmy, was born. They had traveled and preached from Louisiana to California, from Maine to Miami, and all in between, with five children in tow and only faith in God to see them through. They returned to Pensacola, Florida, in 1939 and they never left again. Pensacola had their preacher man. With D. L. Welch's leadership, the church had phenomenal growth. The church expanded several times. A new auditorium was built next door to the existing church on Pace Boulevard, and property at a different location on W Street was purchased, but the building was not completed before his death. In 1975 D. L. Welch's son, Paul Welch, who had been assisting him as associate pastor, became pastor, and D. L. remained as senior pastor. D. L. Welch served as district superintendent of the Florida District, member of the district board, member of the General Board, and honorary General Board member. He served as chaplain of the Florida senate under the administration of Governor Fuller Warren. He was honored by Escambia County Commission as being a role model exemplifying the finest values. He received honor from Congressman Earl Hutto which was included in the congressional records. He received honor by having a portion of Marcus Pointe Boulevard dedicated to him; this is the location of the present church. The Reverend David Lamar Welch died September 7, 1994, in Pensacola, Florida. The people of Pensacola were blessed that he came to their town. "And that's not nearly right; that is right" (a favorite saying of D. L. Welch).
