Our Leadership

Senior Pastor

Dave enjoys sports (go Eagles!), music, fishing, and spending time with his family. He holds a B.S. in Bible and an M.S. in Organizational Leadership, both from Cairn University (formerly Philadelphia Biblical University). His passion is for individuals and families in the church to continue to grow up in Christ, exhibiting genuine love, knowledge, and discernment (Phil. 1:9). Dave is married to Makenzie, and they have three children: Luke, Jack, and Mercy.

Associate Pastor

Matt enjoys hiking/backpacking, biking, playing guitar, reading, journaling, conversation with his wife (Laura), and spending time with his three kids, Adelynn, Ember, and Everett. He holds a B.A. in Bible from Moody Bible Institute. Matt gets excited about people coming to know God more intimately and accurately through the study of the Bible and through relational interaction with Him. He desires to help people behold Jesus in the Gospel in such a way that every area of their life becomes more centered on Him.
