CDYC Special Guest
TODD NIGHSWONGER
Todd is the Executive Pastor at Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California. He grew up all over the Rocky Mountain area, but it wasn’t until 1993 while attending college in Montana that he heard and understood the greatest message ever, the Gospel, that changed his life forever. Todd has always had a heart for students, and even before being called into pastoral ministry he was a high school teacher. He has pastored Jr. High, High School, and college students in Montana, Wyoming, and California for over ten years, and continues to love speaking to them. Todd and his wife, Lisa, have one daughter.
DAVID CUMMINGS AND BAND
David Cummings serves as the Pastor of Connection Worship while coaching the student worship ministries at Nappanee Missionary Church. Before coming to NMC in 2008, David spent ten years working as a youth pastor and worship & arts pastor at a church in Elkhart, Indiana. David has a passion for young people and for connecting them to God, and to His presence in worship. “My desire is for people to encounter the living God in powerful ways, and for them to become wholly devoted worshipers of our great God.”
David has traveled nationally and internationally as a communicator, worship leader, and performer. An accomplished singer, songwriter, he has released four independent worship albums. David spent three years at Bethel College, earning a Certification in Bible, while pursuing a BA in Bible and Ministry.
In 1998, David and Theresa were married and together have three wonderful children, Kylie, Katie Belle, and Karsten. David has a very diverse collection of music, likes to play basketball, enjoys running on lonely stretches of beach, can’t stand cats (but has one), loves a good action movie and reading a well written book, and is passionately learning to follow his God. “My prayer is that we may become a generation who learns to worship our God with all we are.”
