Father David

Fr. David had been an evangelical Protestant pastor for 19 years prior to
his conversion to Orthodoxy and was the founding pastor of our congregation.
He led our entire parish of 33 families through our conversion from
Evangelical Protestantism to the Orthodox faith in February of 1997 (We have
since grown to 80 families). He has been married for 32 years (28 of which
have been spent in Arlington) to Presv. Debbie and they have 4 children and
8 grandchildren. Their entire family converted to the Orthodox faith.

Fr. David has an MA in Theology, and in addition to his pastoral duties, has
taught in a private Christian school, served as both a hospital and prison
chaplain and has done work with the Archdiocese Department of Missions and
Evangelism. He is currently the Spiritual Adviser for the Antiochian Women's Organization
in the Los Angeles Diocese. Presv. Debbie teaches special education for the Marysville
School District.
