Dave Herr became a Believer in Christ and a Son of God as a result of a Lay Witness Missions weekend at the Newville Church of the Brethren in 1974. 

He is the husband of Rebecca, his wife of 41 years, and father of two daughters, Brittni and Karlyn.  Two sons, Kelly and Adam, have been added to the family over the years through marriage to their daughters, as well as 3 grandsons Jacoby, Jesse and Levi.
 
Dave is the Founding Elder and Senior Pastor at Tree of Life Church of Carlisle, which will be celebrating its 16 year anniversary in January 2012. 

Dave was an employee of the Kinney Shoe Corporation Manufacturing Division, where he worked in the engineering and design departments for 28 years.

He believes his highest calling is to be a Christ-Like husband and father, and from a passion for that foundational call, all other areas of service to the Kingdom come forth. 

Someone once stated wisely, 
“You go to work to make a living, but you come home to make a life.” 
 
Dave and Becky believe together, that these words are true 
and are producing much joy for them.
