Pr. David Cowger

Lead Pastor

Affectionately known as PD (Pastor Dave).

David Cowger was born and raised in Elkins, West Virginia. While he was a boy, his family attended the local Nazarene church in Elkins. Sensing God had more for her life, his mother took their family to attend church at First Assembly of God in Elkins. It was there that he was filled with the Holy Spirit. It was there that he was called to the ministry. It was there that he was involved in leading his first youth group... a group in which he was still a teenager.

Immediately following high school, Pastor Dave joined the Marine Corps. While there, he was appointed chaplain of his platoon. Yes, God still had a calling on his life.

Following the Marines, Pastor Dave attended Southeastern College of the Assemblies of God, in Lakeland, Florida. It was there that he met his future wife, Katrina Norris. Upon graduation, he received a B.A. as a Ministerial Major. He and Katrina were married in Columbia, South Carolina, on May 19, 1984. They have raised three beautiful daughters: Kristen (6-8-85), Jaquelyn (2-19-88) and Kailyn (7-26-93). He has been a full-time Youth Pastor and Associate since that time, for churches in South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Alabama.
