Pastor Dave and Donna came to Dresden in 2022 after feeling God leading them here to help, not knowing the full extent of what God was calling them to. Pastor Dave was assigned as Lead Pastor in May of 2023 to lead the congregation of Dresden Nazarene. He felt a calling into ministry as a teen but went a different direction in his life. After spending many years as a teacher and then in the retail world, Pastor Dave finally answered God’s call on his life in 2021. He is currently in the Course of Study at Northwest Nazarene University and working toward ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.

Donna is a 7th Grade Intervention Specialist at Tri-Valley Middle School in Dresden. She has experience as a Children’s Pastor and Daycare Director and does a little of everything around the church from being secretary, teaching Sunday School, decorating the church and pretty much anything else Pastor Dave asks.

Dave and Donna have two children, Nathaniel, who works with the Audio/Video every Sunday and Hannah, who currently attends Mt. Vernon Nazarene University.
