jerome david

Senior pastor

Rev. Jerome David is a PhD candidate in Biblical Studies at Columbia International University (CIU). He holds a BA and an MA in Theology from FEBIAS College of Bible in the Philippines and later earned an MA and a ThM in Hermeneutics from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. His passion is studying the Scripture within its redemptive-historical framework and proclaiming the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) while discipling his family and church community. He is blessed to be married to Rachel. They have two sons, Yosef Theo and Mateo Gresham. He loves spending time and traveling with his family, engaging in gospel conversations, building gospel friendships, and reading the Church Fathers, Puritans, and Reformers. Over coffee or tea, he cherishes discussing the supreme worth of Christ and His Word - a true treasure trove. His life verse is Philippians 1:21: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” SDG!

youth & Young adults Pastor

Meet Pastor Muyiwa Oyatogun, who heads up the Youth and Young Adults ministry here at Bible Church International. Pastor Muyiwa brings a unique blend of academic and spiritual experience to his role. He graduated with his B.S. from Xavier University in Ohio in 2017, followed by a Master of Science in Leadership from Northwestern University in 2018. Driven by his calling, he then pursued a Master of Divinity in Christian Ministry at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
