About Pastor David Pilch
Pastor
Adult & Teen Challenge
On air every fifth Thursday
Pastor Dave was born 2 blocks from ATC at the old Syracuse General Hospital! Before graduating from Christian Brothers Academy high school, he saw the book in the school library The Cross & the Switchblade, which documents the 1958 founding of Teen Challenge in Brooklyn NY. The book made a serious impact in his life, and he committed his life to Christ through a student-led Bible study group that met at Onondaga Community College. After graduation, he enrolled in Bible School at Christ for the Nations Institute, Dallas Texas, and graduated with an Associate Degree in Ministry.
Returning to Syracuse in August 1976, he started volunteering at the Teen Challenge program and eventually became a live-in staff member, moving out in 1982, the morning he got married! He and Nancy reside in Clay and have 2 grown children and hundreds of alumni who call-in from time to time.
