Rev. Dr. J. David Panther
David has been a pastor of First Church since 1992. He enjoys pastoring a church that places a high value on reaching outside the walls of the church, using the gifts of church members for ministry, and connecting people to Christ. David attended Asbury Theological Seminary where he received his Masters of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry.
Dave enjoys outdoor activities, running, hunting, fishing, espresso and good food. He and his wife, Jana, enjoy travel, down time, looking for new restaurants, kayaking and spending time with their two children, Bethany and Jonathan, and a son-in-law, Doug Raraigh. Dave and Jana reside in Butler with their Sheltie and Yorkshire Terrier.
Favorite verse: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
