Pastor Dave enjoys leading a congregation to a place of worship in both music and the spoken Word.  He enjoys teaching and mentoring other worship leaders.  He understands that developing a cohesive worship service from start to finish can help bring people to a clearer understanding of the love of God.  With over 20 years of experience in Youth Ministry, and now as the worship pastor for the PUC church, Pastor Dave strives towards a relational approach to ministry where teaching and developing new leaders happens as we walk through a shared journey of seeking God’s presence together.
