OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe that the Bible is the infallible,
verbally inspired Word of God and that it is,
therefore, our final authority in matters of
faith, practice, and conduct.

We believe in the eternally existing, triune
God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ in His
virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His
miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death
through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection , and in His ascension to the
right hand of the Father where He now acts
as Mediator and Advocate.

We believe in the personal, imminent return
of the Lord Jesus Christ for His own, in His
later return in power and glory with His own
to reign in righteousness over the earth and
in the resurrection of both the saved and the
lost -- they that are saved into the
resurrection of life and they that are lost unto
the resurrection of damnation.

We believe that Heaven is the place of
eternal blessedness for the saved and that
Hell is the place of eternal conscious
punishment for the lost.

We believe that regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation
of lost and sinful men and that all who
receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are
born again and become the children of God.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy
Spirit whose indwelling in all believers
enables them to live godly lives.

Dave started facilitating
DivorceCare in 1998.  DivorceCare is
an on-going support group that meets on Wednesday nights
at Grace Presbyterian Church.  After their marriage in 1999,
they started facilitating DivorceCare as a couple for 5 years.  
After seeing more and more second and third marriages
breaking up and people going through the DivorceCare
series,  God laid it on their hearts to work with remarried
couples before they divorce.  Dave & Doreen started Insightful
Steps and received their 501c status. Their first Step Family
Support group started the Summer of 2004.  Their hearts'
passion have always been with helping individuals who are
going through a divorce and if possible working with them on
reconciliation.  Dave & Doreen started the 50/20 Vision series
of classes as another step after divorce to help guide
individuals, or transition them, into their new role in life and
prepare them to be a more whole and healthy person in Christ
 "before" they meet and possibly remarry again. This class
has been so successful that, people in all walks of life, no
matter where they are, divorced, widowed, still married, single,
engaged, are attending their 50/20 Vision classes.

Dave has over 30 years of teaching adult Bible classes.   Dave
help organize and teach Grace Presbyterian Church's first
single adult Sunday morning class called Crossroads for five
years.  As more and more of the singles were getting
remarried, a new class was formed called Stepping Stones.
Dave taught the Stepping Stones class for several more years.
The spring of 2009 Dave & Doreen felt the Lord calling them to
Richwoods Christian Church for His service.  Richwoods is
quickly growing with young people and families.  The Lord is
moving in Peoria, IL.  Please Join Us In Worshipping Him!

our children.  Most of the time it's smooth
sailing, but we have issues that we have to

was married young at 18 years of age and
had no kids when I divorced the first time.   
Then I had my first son Mitchell who is 23 in
this picture standing on the right of Dave.  I
was a single mom for 7 years raising him.
