David Stevens
Senior Pastor

Pastor David and his family were missionaries in France for 15 years before coming to Central Bible Church in the year 2000. David’s greatest joy in ministry comes from communicating God’s Word and seeing its impact in individual lives. His favorite language is French and his favorite sport is snow skiing.
    David and his wife Mary Alice have four children: Justin, Mary Lynne, and Rebecca (married to a previous CBC youth intern!). Their oldest son, Jonathan, entered his heavenly home in 2004.
    David is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (1982) with a Masters of Theology. He also holds a Doctorate of Theology from the Faculté Evangélique de Vaux-sur-Seine near Paris, France.
