Dave Downey
Dave has been a pastor for 25 years. Most of that time as a youth minister. He moved to Campus ministry several years ago when he discovered that many college aged students are trying to discover who they are in a broken world. They are expected to act as adults when they still feel like kids. Through this, many are set adrift - away from family, church, and other support systems that they had always depended on.
Dave believes that these young adults are able to make a huge impact in the world - if they can see themselves as the people God created them to be. He desires to help them to see through the veil of darkness that covers this world - and experience living with the Impossible God that still moves mountains without mountains knowing that they have been moved (Job 9:5).

Adam Martin
Adam desires to guide and equip the next generation to love and serve the Lord. This led him to receive his Masters of Divinity (MDiv) from Fuller Theological Seminary as well as minister to urban youth for several years in Pueblo, Colorado. He returned to the Grand Valley in the Spring of 2018 to minister to college students through equipping them to articulate, share, and understand their faith. Adam does this by connecting wider aspects of college life and culture with the Gospel for he believes all things are sacred - there is nowhere God is absent.
When he is not connecting with college students, you will find Adam running on the Riverfront Trail, hiking the Monument, or being with his wife and daughter.
