A native of Pennsylvania, Dave Trout encountered Christ as a teenager thanks to the influence of his older sister and the ministry of Greg ('84) Pelc at Hempfield Church of Christ.

Although Dave graduated with a focus on Preaching, his ministry journey has been anything but traditional. While Dave has experience as an associate minister and senior minister, he never settled into a long-term ministry. Instead, Dave discovered his calling as a songwriter and a teacher. While exercising these gifts in his local church, Dave has worked for the last 10 years with PNC Bank.

It was Dave's most recent musical release that inspired us to reach out to him for an interview. You can catch a snipped of this song, Rejoice, toward the end of our interview.
