David Ruhe, a native of Pittsburgh, PA, is a die-hard Pirates fan. 

 

After leaving Pittsburgh, David’s family settled in suburban Chicago. He went on from there to graduate from Grinnell College as a philosophy major, then earned a master of divinity degree from Yale and a doctor of ministry degree from Eden Theological Seminary.

 

David served two Congregational churches in Connecticut—the first as director of Christian education and the second as associate minister for Christian education. David moved to Omaha, NE, to work as associate minister at First Central Congregational Church, where one year later he was named senior minister. After serving in Omaha for 16 years, David became senior minister at Plymouth in 1994.

 

David’s interests include folk music; he plays both guitar and banjo. He is married to Priscilla, a family practice physician, and they have two sons, Jonathan and Paul.
