A Why to Live for: Where Your Destiny Meets the Broken Places of the World.

Dave Rodriguez is the founding and senior pastor of Grace Church in Noblesville, IN. For the past twenty-seven years, Dave has led Grace to advance the Kingdom of God in central Indiana and around the world. He has served the local church in pastoral ministry for over forty years. Grace Church has planted six churches in the United States, along with churches in London, England and Sydney, Australia. Grace currently worships in three campuses in central Indiana. In addition, Grace operates a Care Center that meets the needs of over 500 families a week through a choice food pantry, referral services, ESL classes, micro-loans, and a car care ministry. Dave's education began at the University of Pittsburgh. He went on to graduate with both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He also received an honorary doctorate from Taylor University. Dave has been happily married to Penny for nearly forty years. They have two grown children, Barry Rodriguez (married to Olivia) and Lucy King (married to Kevin). When not living out his calling in ministry, you'll likely find Dave slaving over a hot stove working on the hobby he loves--being an amateur chef.
