Rev. Dr. David Harold Bernthal

We spent Christmas 2023 with our son and daughter-in-law in Columbus GA. As I waited between Bible Study and beginning of service at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer for our son to finish his church duties (as he waited so many times for me when he was growing up) I looked over the pictures of former pastors. To my pleasant surprise, I recognized one of them - Pastor David Bernthal! Then I talked to a lady who had attended his funeral and we reminisced about what a true servant of the Lord he...

My husband and I had the priviledge of having Pastor David as our Pastor at Grace Lutheran Church winter Haven Fl. We were blessed Pastor David was so filled with the Holy Spirit. My Prayers are lifted up for his wife and wonderful family. May God Bless his family

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Dear Paulette and Family my sincere Sympathy to you and your family. We loved him and all of you. Sincerely Margot Waters, Candace and Will. God bless you!

Pastor Bernthal meant a great deal to my family and especially to me. He was a man full of Christ, Humor and common sense; someone who leaves a legacy we all should aspire to. Sincerest condolences to the entire Bernthal Family, God Bless.

Fond memories of our time on the LWML together. Indeed, Pastor is now with his Savior, Christ Jesus who he new, loved worshipped and served, with gladness.

Pastor Dave was definitely “one of a kind”. His love for the Lord was evident in the way he lived a Christian life every single day. His sense of humor will not be forgotten by all who knew him. He & Paulette were a wonderful example of what a lifelong, loving marriage should be. I pray that God will surround you & your loved ones with his comfort & peace Paulette. May all the wonderful memories you shared help sustain you always.
In Christian love,
