In need of Pastoral Services?
David Gaddini is the lead pastor at Fellowship of Faith in McHenry, Illinois, and has served in the ministry since the late 90s. More significantly, his oldest daughter, Regan, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 21. She died two years later. He and his family shared the burden and privilege of being able to walk alongside her in her fight.
Dave’s heart is for helping people connect with God wherever they are at in life, and no matter how the questions and struggles of cancer come crashing into faith. Cancer will rock your world, but God is bigger than it.
Dave and his wife, Tina, were married in 1996. They have two other children who also walked alongside Regan in her cancer journey. He’s a Chicagoland native, but has also lived in Indiana, St. Louis, and Denver. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, movies, working out, and rock climbing.
