Levi graduated from Moody Bible Institute (B.A.). He joined the staff at Fairhaven in January 2020 and serves as the Campus Pastor at the Beavercreek Campus. Before moving to Dayton he served as a Student and Worship Pastor in Vermont for eight years. Levi has a passion for God’s word and God’s family, the Church. He is all about helping those who are far from God be able to ask questions and seek truth while experiencing the love of God’s family.

Levi and his wife Leah have two young children. Levi and Leah both grew up north of Pittsburgh, PA, went on their first date to a Penguins Playoff game, and cheer for the Steelers. Levi is always listening to podcasts, next to a fire, on a bike, or his electric skateboard.

I love working at Fairhaven because of the people. My wife and I get to live and raise our kids in the town we serve. I believe this is a reflection of Christ’s incarnational ministry to us. It’s all about people! Serving the people you and I live beside is how God calls us to bring hope to the world; reflecting the sacrificial love of Christ.

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. – Ephesians 5:2

I believe that God calls us to give him everything. God doesn’t ask for an hour or a day, he desires every hour and every day. A pastor told me this in 9th grade and it stuck with me. I decided to give everything to God, including my career, no matter what that meant! I have made plans, but God has directed my steps all along the way. He will do the same for you if you trust and obey Christ. Christ will lead us through hills and valleys to a holy life that ends in eternity with Him. I can’t wait!
