Pastor Dave believes that those called to serve the Lord in this day and age face
challenges unimagined by their predecessors just a generation ago. Many serve God
in social, work, and home environments not anticipated by the church. Helping equip
believers to live and minister in this environment is the focus of his heart. He believes
that God loves each and every person on the face of the planet and that they are precious
in His sight, Moreover, he believes every person has a great design and destiny for their
lives. Pastor Dave see’s this belief lived out and ministered to the greater body of Christ
through focused discipleship and sound biblical training.
After being in ministry for over 20 years Pastor Dave is known for his heart of worship,
discipleship, and seeing God’s purpose advanced in every life that he comes in contact
with. He has deep insight into God’s Word and a commitment to its practical application.
One of his core beliefs is to always living in the spirit of the maximum: in essentials,
unity; in non-essentials, freedom; and in all things, the graciousness of our loving God.
