Pastor Dave was employed by Faith Temple in Rochester for over five years. In May 2000, Pastor Mary L. Edlin commissioned him and his wife Pat, to start a new church. Churchville was selected because Pastor Dave lives there and is well known and respected in the community. He was allowed to choose a team to go with him to start this new work. He chose three couples and their families and in September 2000 they held their first service.

Pastor Dave and Faith Chapel are linked with LifeNet Apostolic Network, a network of churches under the leadership of Apostle/Pastor Ron Domina of Bethel Christian Fellowship in Rochester. Pastor Dave also serves on the Board of Directors of LAN.

Pastor Dave serves as apostolic oversight for several ministries in the Rochester area as well as oversight of 16 churches in Malawi, Africa.
