Senior Pastor

Senior Pastor- David McGrath     (contact )

Dave, has been at Family Bible Church since December 2005 and comes to us from Dallas, Texas. 

He is married to (and madly in love with) Melany, his wife of 21 years. They have 4 children; Emily Joy (Moody Bible Institute, Spokane, WA), Alexander (Portage High School), Brittany (Portage High School)  and Ashley (WillowCreek Middle School). 

David has earned a Bachelors degree in Pastoral Ministry from the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago and a Masters of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary.

Dave is a "people person" and thrives on connecting with others. As great is his love for people it is only shadowed by his love for God and His word.  He preaches with great passion with the purpose of making the word of God clear and understandable so that others can understand it, live it out, and love with all their hearts, the Author. 

His penchant for humor makes his messages always easy to listen to and his style is more like a conversation at the breakfast table than a academic lecture.
