John David, PHD

Lead Pastor / Elder
johndavid@discoverychurchmn.com

I was born and raised in Nigeria, where I lived and did ministry until 2013, when my family moved to the United States. Married to Chábrabá David in 2007 and blessed with two lovely daughters, Callidora and Charissa.

Started Pastoral Ministry in 2004 and have served as a Worship, Youth, and Teaching Pastor before taking on the role of the Lead Pastor at Discovery Church. Attended Jos ECWA Theological Seminary (Nigeria), George W. Truett Seminary and Dianna R. Garland School of Social Work of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), Illinois. I love the Lord and the Church, and count it an honor to lead and shepherd God’s people and reach others with the gospel.

I enjoy learning, taking walks with Chá, going on dates with my daughters, playing soccer, and watching a good action movie.
