More about Pastor Dave:

“I received my B.A. in Speech Communications from Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA in 2000 and Masters of Divinity from Trinity School of Ministry in Pittsburgh, PA in 2009.”
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.”
“I love to preach God's Word. My hope is that people exit the worship service every Sunday, having experienced God's power and a renewed commitment to reach their neighbors and community with God's love.”
“I enjoy playing sports and board games, hiking in the woods, and getting ice cream from Peaches and Cream as often as possible.”
