Dave and Cornelie were both born and raised in Christian homes and both attended and graduated from Lake City Christian Academy. Dave began on the Worship team of Lake City Christian Centre in 1993 and now leads the team as well as gives pastoral oversight to the church body of Lake City Christian Centre.
Cornelie now gives leadership and direction to the Harvest Church ministry for children ages 6-11. Dave and Cornelie have traveled extensively with the youth, music and drama teams on ministryoutreach trips around Canada, the U.S. and into Europe. The majority of the leadership training they received was on these trips, working in covenant under other leaders.
Dave and Cornelie love working with kids and youth. They are believing to take in young people for spiritual, physical, and social healing to give them a future full of hope and opportunity. Along with that, Dave has a desire to develop musicians to minister God's presence in psalms and spiritual songs beyond the music sheets.
They were married in 2001 and celebrated the arrival of their son Coen in 2004 and their second child, Reid, was born May 2007.
