Founding Pastor
Dr. D. M. Hardison was born August 19, 1928 in Jamesville, North Carolina. His life began with tragedy as his mother died in childbirth. He entered the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, to begin studying law. In the providence of God, he became a preacher rather than a lawyer.
Dr. Hardison’s ministry has been long and varied. He began in tent evangelism in March of 1950 although he had preached a few times in his home church before that date. At the end of the summer Tabernacle Baptist Church of Suffolk, Virginia called him as their Pastor. Each summer for several years he would preach in the tent during the week-nights and on Sunday afternoon and still pastor the church.
During the years in evangelism Dr. Hardison has preached in hundreds of churches, largely in the eastern United States. His sixty-three years of preaching have almost been equally divided between pastoring and evangelism. Dr. Hardison’s reputation as a man of God precedes him. In several churches he is scheduled every single year. One regularly scheduled meeting is a three week revival. We are so blessed the Lord has lead them to continue as members of our TBT.
Evangelism is a work of faith. Dr. Hardison relates that he never asked a pastor to have him in for a revival. He has also never set a price to any church or pastor for his services. He has solely prayed and trusted the Lord to open doors and to supply all of their needs. Dr. Hardison recounts (in reference to this), “I can say truthfully, He has never failed us one time.”
Mrs. Hardison has served as pianist, solo singer, and teacher in their Christian school. She also traveled with him for many years. Often she led family devotions when her husband was traveling and was a faithful help meet to her husband and homemaker for their three children.
Circuit Rider News
“We have completed ten years of publishing the Circuit Rider News as we come to the end of 2010. It has grown from a two-page paper to a twelve-page newsletter. Little did I dream this would happen nor did I expect to have subscribers in all 50 states.” – Dr. D. M. Hardison
