About Our Pastor
 | Pastor David Boxerman was instrumental in three church plants during sixteen years of pastoral ministry in Central Florida prior to being called by Lakeside in 1997. Pastor Boxerman was converted to faith in Jesus Christ at age 23 from a religious upbringing in Reform Judaism. He earned a BS in Secondary Education (Phys. Ed.) from the University of Missouri and received his Master of Divinity degree in 1981 from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. Pastor Dave's wife, Donna Joy grew up in Mesa, AZ and is a graduate of Arizona State University with a Masters Degree in Math. She was converted to faith in Christ through the ministry of the Church of the Redeemer, which is where Dave and Donna Joy met. With their eleven years at Lakeside Presbyterian, the Boxermans look forward to all that the Lord has in store for the church and God’s glory. |
