Pastoral Candidate Dave Becker

Use this page to find all the released information on pastoral candidate Dave Becker in one place. We encourage you to reach out to Dave with any specific questions you have (be respectful that it may take a few days to respond), or any encouragement you may have. These next few months are for you to get to know him and prayerfully consider if you believe God is calling his family to our church and Dave to the office of pastor/elder at Grace.

Remember that an 80% affirmative vote is required to call a new pastor, and a vote can take place after an assessment period of three months. As of right now, we will be holding a special vote at our members meeting on May 1 to set the date for counting the vote on May 15. You can read more about that here.
