OUR PASTOR

Dave Lindberg grew up in Arizona. He is a graduate of the University of Arizona (BA in History, 2006) and Covenant Theological Seminary (Masters of Divinity, 2010). He has been married to Julie, who grew up in the Atlanta area, since 2004. Dave and Julie have six children, ranging from three to sixteen, and as a family they enjoy a pretty active lifestyle, as well as the joys of slowing down for a good movie or book whenever possible.

Dave has been active in ministry since college, and has been in full time ordained ministry since 2012. His passions in ministry are cultivating relationships, showing hospitality, and the privilege of preaching Jesus in all of Scripture. When he isn’t engaged directly in ministry, or focused on activities with the family, he is probably running or cooking.

The Lindbergs are happy to call north Texas their home, and look forward to participating in what God is doing here to make his “blessings flow, far as the curse is found.”

 

OUR BELIEFS

As a congregation in the Presbyterian Church in America, our beliefs are most fully articulated in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Larger and Shorter Catechisms. You can find a link to them here.

In the meantime, though, here are a few bullet points about what we believe:

WE BELIEVE the Bible.

We believe the Bible is God’s Word to the world. It tells us all that we need for salvation and godly living. The Bible is primarily a story about God sending his beloved Son, Jesus, to rescue his people from sin and death.

WE BELIEVE that God is big and we are small.

We believe that God created everything out of nothing by merely speaking, and he governs all that he has made. God is sovereign over everything, including our salvation. There is nothing outside of his control.

WE BELIEVE that God acts the same towards his people in the Old and New Testaments.

We believe that God has always related to his people in terms of a covenant, where God’s people are represented by a mediator. This covenant community has always included believers and their children. The Bible is a single story of God choosing, redeeming, blessing, and sending his people to be a blessing in the world.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus is the gospel (the chief need of believers/unbelievers alike)

We believe that all of salvation comes to us “in Christ.” What is true of him becomes true of us in the gospel. God reckons us as righteous, adopts us as children, and delights over us for eternity. Both believers and unbelievers need the same thing: Jesus.
