David discovered his calling for church planting while studying at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and he further developed his skills through a leadership pipeline program at Lakeshore Church in New Orleans.
After spending two years as an apprentice at Mile City Church in Detroit, he officially launched S.E.E.D. Church in September 2022. S.E.E.D. represents the four values of the church: Salvation, Education, Edification, and Discipleship. Roseville, Michigan, where David started the church, is a diverse community of over 47,000 people.
To connect with the Roseville community and share the message of Jesus, S.E.E.D. Church has organized events such as Garden Day, Family/Friends Day, and Community Day. On Garden Day, the church constructed raised box beds and planted flowers and vegetables, engaging with neighbors throughout the event.
Our church helps support missionaries and church plants like David and S.E.E.D. Church through our regular gifts to the Cooperative Program. Our giving helps to ensure the people of Roseville, Michigan, can hear and respond to the good news about Jesus.
