David R. Fletcher

David Fletcher is often called The Dean of Executive Pastors. Fletch was a pastor for 35 years in churches from 1,000-8,000 members, single and multisite, churches with mergers, camps, schools, apartments and cafés. 

He founded XPastor in 2003 and its 1,100 free articles have become a principal resource for leaders in a complex church world.

With two graduate degrees from Dallas Seminary and executive education at the Kellogg School of Management and the Harvard Business School, he brings an objective perspective, broad knowledge and vast experience. 

Fletch is a friend and church doctor. He brings biblical principles and best practices to your church’s unique culture and setting. He teaches Doctor of Ministry students at Dallas Seminary and ETS India, and has written 8 books and scores of articles for national publications.

With his wife, Tami, they love to walk the hills near their home in Austin, Texas—and Fletch loves scuba diving in rivers, lakes, missile silos and the world’s oceans.
