Dave Bolton

Pastor David has been married to his wife, Grace, for 26 years and is a father to his son Peter who is graduating high school this year. David Bolton serves as the Student Pastor at New Life Students, where he’s passionate about helping students discover an authentic, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. With 33 years of experience in student ministry, David brings a teaching and preaching style that’s both relational and real—connecting with students in meaningful, lasting ways.  Known for his engaging presence and down-to-earth approach, David thrives on seeing students grow in their faith and take ownership of their walk with Christ. Whether he’s leading a lesson, sharing a story, or just hanging out around a campfire, he’s all about building genuine relationships.  When he’s not pouring into students, you’ll likely find David outdoors—gardening, camping, hiking, or spiking a volleyball on the beach. He brings that same energy and love for life into everything he does, creating spaces where students feel seen, known, and encouraged.
