Dave grew up locally in Auburn attending area schools and enjoying all the outdoor activities the Sierra Foothills have to offer. The Lord in His grace saw fit to save him from his sins in his early teens and he has been a part of Foothill Christian Fellowship from its inception. After completing his undergraduate work at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Dave entered into education, teaching for twelve years at various grade levels K-12. He also enjoyed coaching basketball at Colfax High School for much of that time. In 1992-94 the Lord provided an opportunity to study at the Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, CA, and upon his return to the Auburn area he began to serve as a pastor at FCF. In 2000 Dave stepped away from his teaching position at Colfax High to serve full-time in pastoral ministry at Foothill. Dave met and married his wife, Susie, right out of college in 1988 and they have two children, Justin (married to Shaina) and Hannah. In his spare time he enjoys working with his hands and being in the outdoors fly-fishing, backpacking, and motorcycle riding.
Cary grew up in Penryn and attended Del Oro High School. She married her high school sweetheart in 1975. 2 months into her marriage, the Lord drew her to Himself in salvation after listening to the testimonies of the Loas people who where escaping their country by boat because of the persecution. She and Terry have 2 children & 5 grandkids. Holly is married to Artie (with 3 girls: Teja, Emmy & Hannah) & TJ married to Lindsey (with 2 boys, Jed & Trever).

Kristi has lived in and around Colfax, CA her whole life. She graduated from Colfax High in 2002, where she enjoyed playing basketball. Shortly after highschool, she became a mother to, Kayley Jade. The Lord used the challenges of being young, unwed parents to lead her & her boyfriend, Jimmy, to attend a bible study at the home of her former basketball coach, Dave Witt. It was through that study the Lord saved both Kristi and Jimmy. They were baptized & got married in 2004. Shortly after, Jimmy went off to serve in the Army but was medically discharged after contracting Lyme Disease in boot camp. Kristi began working as a secretary at Foothill in 2005. Throughout the challenges of Jimmy’s illness & life, the Lord always provided for their family. In 2008 He gave them another blessing, Kameron Jaya. In 2013, Jimmy went home to be with the Lord. Kristi has a heart to serve those hurting after the death of a loved one & currently helps in our GriefShare ministry. She can be found serving in the office, cheering on her girls at basketball games, enjoying time with family & friends, and hanging with Mickey in Disneyland.
