Dave was blessed to be raised in a Christian home where he learned to care for and appreciate others. His heart is for those that are hurting in any capacity. When Dave is not serving others, he is chasing celebrities, athletes, and musicians for autographs. He also loves spending time with his dog, his 19 grandkids, and his wife, Sue, but NOT in that order! Dave also loves a good Chick-fil-A sandwich, donuts, carrying candy in his pockets, and making people smile.

David Donaldson

  • David joined the MissionView team in 2024. He grew up in Hudson, Ohio, in a non-Christian family. His life was flipped upside down when he was saved at the age of twenty-four. Early in his Christian walk, David sensed a call into pastoral ministry. While studying his Bible one summer evening, the truths of Scripture started to take hold of him, and he remembers thinking, “I understand this!” And then the next sweeping thought was, “I want to help others understand this!” Although the passion for ministry was present, the experience in teaching was not. As a result, he moved to Columbus, where he worked as a school teacher for several years. While in Columbus, he met his wife, Ashley, and started attending classes at Southern Seminary. He also served as a pastoral intern at his previous church. David is passionate about sharing the gospel with students, running, reading, skiing/snowboarding, and spending time with Ashley.

They were married in 2018 and have two children, Eden and Samuel, who are a huge blessing. He is pursuing a Master of Divinity at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. They have been part of leading two different youth ministries. We started in Louisville, Ohio, and later served in a church in Sugarcreek, Ohio. At the end of 2022, talks began about a church plant in Alliance. They began to pray about helping with this plant. Over time, it became clear that they may be called to plant a church. They heard about MissionView and their desire to train pastors to plant churches. They began attending in April 2024 and loved it.

Jesse thanks God for the opportunity to lead worship and experience community at MissionView as it has been the source of great challenge, growth, and joy in his life for the last ten years and counting!
