Pastor

David is pastor and head of staff and has served Swift Creek since August 2018. He is passionate about the transformation God’s grace has on those who commit their lives to Christ. Preaching from God’s word each Sunday brings him great joy, as do the one-on-one conversations with guests and members throughout the week.
He received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Master of Divinity from Union Presbyterian Seminary.  Having lived in Chesterfield County since 2007, David considers the Richmond area his home. He and his wife Nicole have two children, Ethan and Grace. A miniature poodle named Scarlett rounds out their family. In his spare time, David enjoys sailing, baseball, and seeing new places.

Youth Director

Ben has worked in ministry since 2005 in many capacities.  He is creative, enthusiastic, and engaging, but most importantly, he has a deep love for Jesus and a clear calling to raise up the next generation as strong disciples of Christ.  He joined Swift Creek in early 2024 as Youth Director for middle and high school students.  As Ben faced trials earlier in his life, he was headed down the wrong path, until he received a wakeup call while dealing with the consequences from his past decisions.  Soon after his wakeup call, Ben gave his life to the Lord and has been serving Him ever since.  Feel free to ask Ben about his story, as he loves sharing his testimony of how God redeemed him!
