Dave and Shelley Stiansen joined the staff at Haycock in June of 2012.  Dave grew up in southeastern PA, and came to Haycock regularly in his youth through programs and camping trips through his former church home, Grace Bible Church in Souderton.  Camping ministry has played an integral part in his spiritual growth, and at a camp in West Virginia at the age of 13, he first laid eyes on his future wife!  After graduating from Souderton High School  and then from Grove City College in 2000 with a degree in Education, Dave and Shelley were married and moved out to Indianapolis, IN.  From then until God’s call for them to take the position at Haycock, Dave served in many different aspects of urban ministry including running community center activities, discipleship training for urban teens and young men, and alternative education programs.  He feels honored to lead Haycock into its next fifty years of fulfilling its mission to “lead individuals to Christ and train them to serve Him”.  The Lord has abundantly blessed them with the best “gifts” anyone could ask for: Alayna, Libby, Kai, Molly, Lila, Micah, Luke, Kate, and Lincoln.
