About Dr. David Bachelor, Senior Pastor at First United Methodist Church in Uvalde
Dr. Bachelor was ordained in York, England in 1997 and served five rural churches in the county of Somerset. Since returning to the U.S.. he has served churches in New Mexico, Colorado and south Texas. He and his wife Glenda have been married 37 years. They have three adult children and say they are now “those people” who spoil their pets and treat them like children.
God has also called him to be a chaplain in the Navy Reserves. As a chaplain, he has deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. After Afghanistan, he started Warrior Wash Ministry based on his dissertation. Warrior Wash is a retreat ministry providing a Christian solution to post-traumatic stress. Warrior Wash is also a resource for churches to start veterans’ ministries. He is the author of four books: Death-Shadow: Christianity and Post-traumatic Stress; Sacraments of War: The Sword and the Warrior Wash; Day Eight: Walking after the Warrior Wash; and MMXX: A Year Like No Other.
