Pastor David Rodrigez
Lead Pastor
Pastor David and his wife, Kelli, both hail from the Yakima Valley here in Washington State. Their paths crossed in 2012, leading to their marriage just two years later in 2014. Together, they have built a loving family with four children: David, Esther, Abygail, and Stephen.
Shortly after their wedding, Pastor David and Kelli felt a strong calling from the Lord to relocate to Washington D.C. It was during their time in the nation's capital that their journey into Pastoral leadership and Small Group ministry began to take shape. As they responded to this call and recognized the needs around them, the Lord used them to foster the growth of disciples, youth, and small groups within their community.
In 2021, Pastor David and Kelli once again felt the Lord's guidance, prompting them to sell and donate all their possessions and move to a small rural town in Alaska called Talkeetna. Embracing this new direction in faith, they were able to establish two small groups, form a ladies' group, pastor the local youth, and offer pulpit support at their home church. Their primary focus was on developing young disciples, many of whom have since stepped into leadership roles within these groups.
In December 2024, the Lord called Pastor David and Kelli to take another leap of faith and by February 2025, they again sold and gave away all their belongings, moving to Spartanburg South Carolina where Pastor David accepted the role of Pastor, continuing their journey of service and leadership.
In August of 2026, the Lord asked them one more time to sale all and return home to Washington State to serve as Senior Pastor of Southside Church in Richland Washington. Together Pastor David and Kelli plan to share the Gospel in there local communities and in the Tri-Cities area.
