- Pastor Dave from River of Life in Elk River Minnesota has been speaking the word for many years. We’ve been attending ROL for about 7 years now. One thing that has been important to my husband and I is how Pastor Dave applies the stories in the Bible to everyday life. He inspires us to seek Jesus ever day and go further than just being followers of Christ, him and his wonderful wife Anne, are so deserving of this, and I know me and many others are so grateful for their leadership and passion for Jesus Christ!
- I cannot express enough how profoundly grateful I am for Pastor Dave and the incredible impact he has had on our family and the entire community. Each Sunday, he not only nourishes our spirits with the powerful truth of God’s word but also touches our hearts with moments that resonate deeply–whether through laughter or tears. His unwavering commitment to sharing the Gospel has transformed lives, encouraging people to cultivate a personal relationship with the Lord and boldly step into their spiritual gifts. Pastor Dave’s ministry doesn’t just inspire; it ignites a passion for serving God with faithfulness and purpose. Watching our church grow, witnessing souls being saved, and seeing people empowered to walk in their calling is a living testament to the transformative power of his leadership. It’s been an absolute honor to be part of this vibrant journey as our church flourishes under his guidance, radiating the love and truth of Christ.
- Pastor Dave is amazing and teaches of Gods amazing love and grace and mercy. He understands the importance of equipping the flock and building community and knows the power of prayer. He is transparent and humble which allows us all to understand Gods word that much more. Blessed by Pastor Dave!
