Hal is a graduate of Taylor University (‘71), and Dallas Seminary (ThM,‘78) and Denver Seminary (DMin,‘88). In his first ministry at First Baptist Church, Dallas, Hal taught the Medical-Dental Sunday School class and found himself immersed in a full-time ministry with medical and dental students, residents, faculty, and physicians and dentists in practice. During this ministry, he learned of the Christian Medical Society (CMS) through his mentor Haddon Robinson who was then part-time General Director of CMS while teaching at Dallas Seminary. Through his friendship with Joe Bayly, who followed Dr. Robinson as General Director of CMS, Hal then transitioned from the work at First Baptist Church to a full-time ministry with CMS. He first served as a regional director for TX, OK, KS, and NE, then as national staff director. He completed his tenure at CMS (now CMDA) by serving for 7 years as the General Director. He is a Lifetime Member of CMDA. In 1993 God led them to leave CMDA to become pastor at Dallas Bible Church when he served as senior pastor for 21+ years. Completing that ministry in 2015, Hal launched Finishing Well Ministries (FWM). FWM is a preaching, teaching, discipling ministry to seniors in churches and senior living facilities primarily in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. FWM is a 501c3 approved organization, an ECFA member, and operates under the authority of an excellent board.
