“Behold, I am doing a new thing.” ~Isaiah 43:19

After twenty-six years of being a campus minister and pastor, I am about to do something new.

As of December 31st, I am stepping down from my role as Senior Pastor at Fremont Presbyterian Church, a role I’ve held since September 2014.

What is the new thing?
I want to help leaders in all spheres—the local church, ministries, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations—by providing free confidential coaching and care. I will be working with Standing Stone Ministires beginning in early 2024. @standing_stone_ministry has over 200 people serving 3,000 leaders nationally.

We all raise our financial support so we can provide this service to any leader, free of charge.

Throughout the various roles I’ve held, I have aimed to listen well, care deeply, and guide with wisdom. I know that leadership in all areas of life can feel lonely.

Earlier this year, someone said to me, “David, it sounds like you are longing for the hidden work of deeper discipleship.” I am ready for the behind-the-scenes conversations that help keep leaders healthy, and take people deeper into the knowledge and love of Jesus.

My hope is to have a team of partners with me in this ministry. Not just donors, but partners.

If you see the need for this kind of work, I’d love to connect with you and tell you more.
