OUR TEAM

“Pastor Dave” is a Midwest Transplant from the West Coast. He has been known to wear his sandals well into the near freezing temperatures! “Pdave” arrived in Savage, MN in 2012 with a desire to be used by God for this region to experience God’s blessing, grace, prosperity and presence. He loves teaching from the Bible. He enjoys the presence of God. He loves being part of the movement of God’s Kingdom. And, he loves people.

We're excited to announce the newly hired Associate Pastor! Luke will serve at a pastoral level alongside our Pastor Dave, with direct responsibility for Youth and Young Adult ministry.  God has blessed Luke with strengths in preaching, teaching, visionary leadership, and strong delegation.

Laura Simonson, our current Director of Children’s Ministries is taking her hard work home to be a mother and homeschooler of 5 children! We are so appreciative of Laura and her dedicated, loving, excellent service to Bridgewood Church children and families.
This has opened up this position and we are looking for a godly, qualified and called person to join the ministry here at Bridgewood Church. If you have any questions, please reach out to Pastor Dave or Pastor Luke.

Dave is passionate about worshiping the Lord through music. He has served at Bridgewood for the past 20 years! When not writing music or playing the sax, Dave enjoys spending time outdoors and fishing on the lake. 

As Ministry Coordinator, Judy is here to support and better the opportunities to build community and make connections within Bridgewood Church. She desires to see the Church be healthy, reach more people, and develop hearts that truly burn with passion for the Lord. Among the countless other things she does, Judy enjoys spending time with her husband and adult children, as well as traveling, gardening, and being outside.

Jenna holds the fort down in our office. As Administrative Support Staff, she helps things run smoothly behind the scenes in communications, coordinating, and caring for the building God has blessed Bridgewood. Jenna enjoys summer on the lake and spending time with her husband Sean and two daughters Emma and Riley.
