 My name is Dave McClellan and I'm the pastor. My wife Karen and I believe God prepared us for this big challenge and we love the job! After growing up in small churches (as a pastor's kid), being on staff at The Chapel in Akron for 9 years, and then at our parent church; Riverwood for 4, I've been able to gain a really broad band of experience in church life. I grew up in the Seattle area (before coffee was big), went to college at Grace College (B.A. Speech Communications) and Denver Seminary (M.Div). In 2009 I completed a Ph.D. at in Rhetoric and Communication from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Communication fascinates me, and I love to see it done creatively. I've been married to Karen for 28 years and we have two kids, Kelsey (25), and Kyle (22). I love preaching and teaching, Jeeps, backpacking, working around the house, and most everything outdoors.
