David - Pastor
My journey of faith began early - watching my parents give their lives to Christ during a church service left a lasting impact on me. I grew up in the church, but it was during high school that God truly grabbed hold of my life. I love how God meets us at those crossroads—there’s absolutely no room for fence-sitting when it comes to following Him!
Over the years, I’ve served in many areas, including worship, teaching Sunday school, leading small groups, and even evangelizing in Africa. I felt the call to ministry from a young age, but by 21, I decided to run from it. I joined the military, signing my life away for a short period. The military introduced me to the cyber world, where I excelled. After exiting the military, I pursued a career in cybersecurity and worked with various government agencies. Life was “on the up and up,” as the world might say.
In 2019, God reminded me, loud and clear, of the call He had placed on my life. The identity I had built around my career and the pride that came with it underwent a necessary and righteous renovation. God graciously broke down everything I had constructed. From 2019 to 2022, I intentionally stepped back to prepare for ministry. I sought mentorship, enrolled in and completed a Bible Institute training program geared toward church planting, and, most importantly, spent as much time as I could in prayer.
In 2022, my family and I stepped out in faith, canceling the construction of a new home in North Idaho just a week after signing the contract—something only God could have made possible. We packed up and moved to Grants Pass, Oregon, to serve at LifeLink Church, where my mentor, Pastor Steve, has faithfully pastored. In January 2025, the elder board invited me to join the staff as Associate Pastor. As of 2026, I have assumed the role of Pastor here at LifeLink.
It’s been an incredible blessing to see how God is moving in and through LifeLink Church. My family and I are honored to be part of this community and excited to continue serving for His glory and kingdom.

Pat - Assistant Administrator
I found my church home at Life Link Church about three years ago. I have lived in the Grants Pass/Williams area for approximately 60 years. My daughter and son in law have four children which keeps me hopping! I ran barrels for many years and although I no longer compete, I love the sport of rodeo. My "spare" time is spent gardening and enjoying this beautiful area where I am blessed to live.
