Meet Our Pastors:
David and Lavinia Marshall

David and Lavinia met over thirty years ago and have been inseparable ever since they met.  They met in Cleveland, Ohio where they were both beginning their careers.  David was living his dream, playing Professional Football for the Cleveland Browns and Lavinia was a Junior Executive for a local corporation.  

They have been married for 34 years.  At the onset of their marriage, they worshipped at a life- giving church which forever changed their lives. Their leadership preparation began long before they had the urge to start a church.  They have lead Bible studies, served as cell group leaders, youth pastors, and community outreach pastors.  A few years ago, the call to pastor begin to ring.  With much prayer, listening, and communing with God, David and Lavinia said, “Yes”!  After years of prayer and preparation, they are embarking on this new part of their journey in Bradenton, Florida.

David and Lavinia have gone through training and have been approved to plant a life-giving church.  They are not just going to the edge of the water; they feel as if they are stepping into the water. They are excited and full of hope to help people experience God, grow in God, and change the world with the love of God.
