Pastor/Elder

David began serving as the Pastor of NLFC in July of 2026. He has a bachelor's degree in biblical studies from the Master’s University.

He has been married to his wife Alyssa since 2011 and they have three children. He was born and raised in Spokane, WA, but has lived in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, and Iowa throughout his life. He likes to play bass, fish, watch baseball and football, and is starting to get into hand tool woodworking.
