Greatest Satisfaction
Watching students take what they have heard and learned about Jesus Christ and applying it to all areas of their lives.  Pastor Dave also enjoys seeing students as they begin to understand a biblical truth that they had not known previously.

Greatest Challenge
Realizing that many students and parents will not respond to faith in Jesus Christ.
