Annual Conference Keynote Speaker, Rev. David Valera joined us on The Big Band on Wednesday, May 14th. “Pastor Dave” shared a bit of his story – growing up in the Philippines, living in NY City, and finally serving as DCM for the Pacific Northwest Conference. His background is in communications and specifically, in creating documentaries. He brings storytelling into every job and ministry.

The topic that really engaged Big Band attendees was the concept of finding ways to communicate and work cross-generationally. David shared ideas of how, even in the smallest, most homogeneous churches, he’s found ways to promote the telling of stories that are relevant to people inside and outside the church.
