For more than twenty years, Dave Olson has served the Lord in many capacities. After heading up Fairhaven Christian Academy and serving as a pastor, God called Dave into missions. He and his family served the Lord as missionaries to Zambia, Africa, for ten years until a series of ongoing health problems and life-threatening illnesses led to his return to Fairhaven Baptist Church in 2012. Brother Olson has a burden to train men to plant churches at home and abroad. His B.A. in Pastoral Theology and M.A. in Education have uniquely equipped him for his preaching and teaching ministry. In addition to his writing and speaking ministry, Brother Olson helps extensively with our new believers Sunday School Classes, Growing in Grace & Basics. He also serves as our Directory of Missions.
