About Me

Welcome to the home base for David “Dave” C. Shields, me! This site is to provide an online reference for those wishing to know more about me as a professional minister or professional IT worker, including prospective employers. It is in no way designed to sell services or to be used for soliciting purposes.

I am a working professional and doctoral candidate with an AAS in Information Technology, a BS in Management of Information Systems, and a Master of Science in Cybersecurity. I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have enjoyed 26 years as a couple and 20 years of marriage. We have four children aged 10- 14, including a special needs child.

I accepted the call to ministry for the first time as a youth pastor for Agape Baptist Church in Blanchard, OK. However, after accomplishing God’s tasks, I respectfully submitted my resignation on May 26, 2010.  After searching for various churches, we found our way to CrossPointe Church, a multi-denominational church near our home where I served until God called me to Kansas City in 2018. I now serve as a key lay volunteer in Kansas City, MO. I lead the Men’s Coffee small group, I lead the Freedom Fire Urban Outreach ministry, and I am an active Production crew member, responsible for running sound for worship events at our main campus.
