Rev. David Weaver
Associate Pastor, Director of Pastoral Care, Beatitudes Campus, email
David’s professional interests have long been in working with individuals and families in the middle of tough times. For over a decade in the East, he worked in hospice care as a Chaplain, Social Worker and Bereavement Counselor. He also served part-time as a Pastoral Counselor for five years and as a Congregational Consultant partnering with congregations who were experiencing troubled times.
For fun, David is discovering some of Arizona’s wonderful hiking trails; enjoying singing with Orpheus Male Chorus; continuing his amateur culinary explorations; reading about and watching all things historical; and—when possible—traveling to places to which he has never been.
David holds the following degrees:
- Master of Social Work, Rutgers University, 1995
- Master of Divinity, Princeton Theological Seminary, 1994
- Bachelor of Science, Business/Secondary Education, Eastern Mennonite University, 1986
