Dave has a passion for seeing churches and ministries grow by teaching them to use their resources wisely and invest well. Dave received his B.A in English and Bible from Cedarville University. He then went on to graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary with the Master of Theology degree and an M.A. in Counseling from Ashland University.

As a Financial Consultant at a major brokerage firm in the late ‘90s, he and his partner managed over $380 million of customers’ assets.  Today, he serves clients helping individuals and non-profits make wise decisions about their resources so that they can accomplish their goals. He does this through developing written step-by-step action plans resulting in increased giving for their regular operating, for capital projects and for longer term resourcing through individual’s estates.  This has resulted in over $100 million raised for buildings, funding staff, debt reduction, support raising for new churches, scholarships, missions projects and other ministry expansion initiatives.


David Bennett grew up in Southeastern Ohio where he met his bride, Karen.  His office is in Fort Worth, Texas. They have two sons, Joel and Jay.
