David was born April 11, 1941 in East St. Louis, Illinois.
At the young age of just 17, David was called into the ministry. In 1959, David married the love of his life, Sandra, on December 24, 1961. Together they celebrated 59 years of marriage, having built a large family that David loved and adored. Until the day of his passing, David taught, preached, and pastored countless thousands. David received his Doctorate of Theology from Kingsway Bible College. Through Kingsway Fellowship International, Pastor David spent 15 years in the Caribbean opening a number of bible schools known as Caribbean Mission Bible School. In 1985, Pastor David began a non-profit ministry, Light to the Nations, with Sylvia McDaniels, who is still overseeing the organization's operations today. After his return from the Caribbean in 2000, Pastor Weimer joined the staff at Enjoy Church (formerly New Testament Fellowship Church), where he established the Midwest Bible Training Center through Kingsway University. He continued to share his wisdom, counsel and love for the people at Enjoy Church through his pastoral care ministry until his retirement in 2017. Many students who studied under Pastor Weimer have taken up teaching positions all over the world.
A Memorial Celebration service will be held on Friday, July 2 at 6:00 pm Enjoy Church in Alton, Illinois. A time of visitation and fellowship precedes the service, beginning at 5:00 pm. Donations made in memory of Pastor David may be made to Enjoy Church, 3303 Homer M Adams Pkwy, Alton, IL 62002.
