With formal education consisting of a Bachelor of Science in business and computers from Messiah College and a Masters of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, he has also been trained in the short-term mission fields of Papua New Guinea, The Dominican Republic, Chile, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Mexico. His ministry leadership experience includes serving as youth pastor, worship leader, missions team leader, LaVida wilderness guide, discipler, and man of prayer. He was formally ordained in 2005 by a Vicinage Council of local clergy to confirm his call to full-time pastoral ministry. His passions include spiritual formation, authentic worship, spiritual victory, and the power of prayer. His wife Michelle, older son Elias, daughter Piper, and little boy Griffin are his co-workers in God’s service.
Whether you are a member of New Hope or not, please remember to keep Pastor Dave and his family in your prayers. Pray that God will continue to grant him spiritual protection, wisdom & discernment, a life of hospitality, and sermons filled with truth. It is his prayer, and ours as well, that God’s will would be accomplished in his life and in the life of New Hope Christian Chapel.
