Rev. David Myhren

Pastor Myhren was born into a loving Christian home in New York, where his family and church taught him about Jesus from a young age. Dave was blessed to attend college at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA (BS-History, 2014), where he met Christians from many different backgrounds and was challenged to think through his faith on his own.

After graduating, Dave worked as a carpenter in northern New Jersey, just outside of New York City. After working for several years and serving in his local church, Dave attended Mid-America Reformed Seminary (MARS) in Dyer, IN, just outside Chicago (MDiv, 2023). Aside from the privilege of learning in the classroom, Dave was mentored by professors and several local pastors. He was blessed to have had the opportunity to complete three hands-on pastoral internships in different contexts.

Dave’s great desire in ministry is to see Christ glorified, God’s people grow in their love for Christ, and new people introduced to Jesus for the first time. To that end, Covenant Presbyterian Church (OPC) of Vandalia has ordained Dave to serve as a minister tasked with planting Bread of Life Church (OPC) in Troy, Ohio.

Covenant Presbyterian Church

As a church plant, Bread of Life, is overseen by her mother church, Covenant Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Vandalia. Under Christ, Covenant is ruled by what is called a "Session." This is a body made up of ruling elders and ministers who are chosen by the congregation based upon the biblical qualifications seen in the New Testament. Each week a member of the Session will attend Bread of Life and help oversee the ministry. As Bread of Life matures, we hope to ordain ruling elders and deacons from within our own congregation.
