Dennis Davenport, Pastor
Dennis grew up in the Detroit, Michigan area. He graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 1972 with a degree in Sociology and secondary education. He then graduated from the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1978 with a Master of Divinity and from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in 1992 with a Doctor of Ministry degree.
Dennis has served God in many positions including Christian Education Director at Lake Shore Presbyterian Church in St. Clair Shores, Michigan; Youth Director at Fern Creek United Methodist Church in Louisville, Kentucky; Student Pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Scottsburg, Indiana; Associate Pastor of The Church of the Covenant in Washington, Pennsylvania; Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in New Castle, Pennsylvania.
Dennis is married to Emma Sue and they have three sons Derek, Drew, and David.
"I served as pastor of Eastminster Presbyterian Church from September, 1992, until the merger with Washington Avenue Presbyterian Church in August, 1999. Since then I have been the pastor of the 'new & improved' Eastminster. Both experiences have been wonderfully exciting. The people here have taught me a great deal about loving one another and about the call of Jesus Christ to serve others. I can't imagine a more caring, giving and accepting church than what I have found here. Especially gratifying is the privilege of working together with a marvelously talented staff who always put self aside for the greater good of the church."
