David was born in IL but raised in NC. He grew up going to Mount Airy Christian Church. Fully committed his life to Christ in 2005. Went to Johnson University to be a Youth Pastor. Was selling cars when God called him to his 1st ministry in Statesville, NC. 1 year later, became the Youth Pastor of the Church he grew up in in Mount Airy. Served as a Youth Pastor for 5 years, then a Lead Pastor for 9 years. Felt God’s call to step away from full-time ministry in 2022. Moved to Michigan and began attending Harvest in August of 2022. He has been married to Maria since 2009, and they have three kids, all girls.

If you have gotten to know David, please share how he has been an encouragement to you.  As part of the elder evaluation process, we ask that if you have any concerns about an elder candidate, you first reach out to him directly and then to the current elders.  Please do so by September 12th
