GATHERING STUDENT LEADERS
Dave currently leads our student ministry (7th-12th grades) here at E-Free Church where he has attended since 1980. He gave his life to Jesus in 1989 after hearing Josh McDowell give a compelling reason that there was only one way to be saved. That one way was by putting faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Dave knew in 1995 that he wanted to serve Him working with students. He rededicated his life to Jesus late that summer.
He has worked and volunteered in student ministries since 1995, studying youth ministry through Point Loma Nazarene.
Dave is married to his high school sweetheart Kari, and they have 5 wonderful kids.
