Dave Brewer

Dave is a 1998 graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in secondary mathematics education. He began pastoral training as an intern in the youth ministry at Lord of Life Church in Indiana, Pa., one of the first churches in the Sovereign Grace Ministries family.

“I had the privilege of growing up in a Christian home where I was taught the gospel,” Dave says. “I made a profession of faith in Christ at a young age, and God continually revealed himself to me throughout my childhood. It was over a few years [in college] that God began to draw me in the direction of pastoral ministry.”

Dave was born in Silver Spring, Md., and grew up in Columbia, Md., where he graduated Hammond High School in 1994.  His parents attended the weekly TAG meetings of the early ’70s in Washington, D.C., where a young C.J. Mahaney preached before becoming a founding pastor of Covenant Life.

Lord of Life Church sent Dave here as part of the 1999-2000 class of the Pastors College, and he stayed in Maryland after graduating. He taught math for two years at Blake High School in Silver Spring, also coaching baseball and soccer, before being asked to join the Covenant Life pastoral team in 2002.

Dave, wife Jen, and their four children reside in the Gaithersburg area.
