Pastor David Patterson was born and raised on the Eastern Shore. He grew up on a dairy farm outside of Chestertown, MD. In 2004, he answered the call of God, and went to bible school in Tulsa, OK where he graduated in 2007. He then served as an associate pastor in Lewistown, PA for three years. He had always desired to come back to his hometown to preach the Word of God. In 2010, the Lord granted him that desire, and called him back to the Eastern Shore. He pioneered a church which he pastored up until the formation of New Freedom Church in 2015. Today, he continues to answer the call of God by serving as Senior Pastor of New Freedom Church. He serves with his wife, Pastor Laci, and their two children, Makayla and Mason.
