David Woolcock

David Woolcock grew up in an Adventist household and spent the majority of his time at Adventist schools. Although he was surrounded by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he never really became a follower of Christ until mid-way through high school. Woolcock attended Pathfinders as a youth but he can’t say these programs had a transformative impact on my development. Campouts, bike-a-thons, great speakers, bake sales, and any other activity you can imagine did little in helping me to one day make the best decision of my life. It was the weekly love, care, and concern he experienced from Jesus-loving Christians that helped form him into the man, husband, father, and pastor he am today. “There is no substitute for unconditional love and acceptance. When we love others like Christ loved us, success is always the outcome,” he says.
