Meet The Pastor

David Ricker and his wife Alley both grew up in Western New York and have a love for the people here. They love Jesus and love to travel and have fun together.

David first felt the call to be a pastor as a young boy but walked away from God as a teenager only to have God chase him down in his mid-twenties and renew that desire to become a pastor.
You should ask him about his story sometime!

"I came to know the emptiness of living for myself, and I knew that if God could still love me after all the terrible things I had done, He could have my life and do with it whatever He wanted.
That was the best decision I ever made!
I never would have imagined the adventures He would take me on."

After attending college to study for ministry, David accepted the call to be the pastor of FBC of Elma.
He is passionate about mobilizing the church to live like missionaries right where God has planted us.
