Rev. David Moynihan, Senior Pastor

Pastor Dave has been serving here at First Baptist since 1992.  While an engineer in this area during the late 70’s & early 80’s, he along with his wife Susan, felt a call to the ministry and decided return to school for some ministerial training.  He graduated from Grace Theological Seminary in 1985 with a Master of Divinity.  They then joined the American Mission for Opening Churches and were involved in a church planting ministry in the Berkshires of Massachusetts until July of 1992. 

Since coming to First Baptist, Pastor Dave has endeavored, by God’s grace & the Spirit’s enabling, to direct the ministry in an increasingly Christ Centered, Biblically Based & Family Oriented manner.  And God has blessed, giving him the joy & privilege of seeing the Church grow both numerically & spiritually over the years.   He has also had the blessing of adding Pastor Josh on staff to oversee our Christian Education & the youth ministries.

On a family level, he has been married for over 35 years and has 3 adult children who love the Lord and actively serve Him.  He and Susan have 7 grandchildren and they love every minute of it. J
