Pastor David Church, was born and raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. In 1992 he graduated from Indiana Bible College in Indianapolis, Indiana with an Associates Degree in Theology.
After graduating, he went back to Oshawa to teach at Apostolic Missionary Institute, a bible college that was a part of the church where his father Reverend B.J. Church, was the Pastor.
In 1993 he travelled back to Indianapolis to marry Holly Frymier. Together, they lived in Oshawa while Dave continued to teach at AMI. In 1994 they started traveling between Oshawa and Indiana while Dave continued to work.
They finally settled in Chesterton, Indiana in 1995 and began attending the local UPC church, where he later helped start a home missions work under Pastor James Smith.
He and Holly began their family in 1996 with a precious baby girl they named Adriene. Joyfully, they added a son, Davis, in 1999. The year 2002 brought even more delight with another son born, Barrett.
That same year, David became pastor of New Life Tabernacle in Chesterton, Indiana. Five years later, God revealed another plan for David and Holly... in October of 2007 they were elected as the new pastor of Christian Life Center. They merged New Life Tabernacle and Christian Life Center into a new thriving church now called Life Church of Valparaiso, Indiana.
