Dave Allen - Senior Pastor

Together, Pastor Dave and Alli Allen are committed to seeing the Holy Spirit

minister freely among His people including the youth and children of New Covenant Church.   As Sr. Pastor, Dave is invested in seeing that the Great Commandment motivates the church

to fulfill the Great Commission, as the Great Companion leads.  He believes that the church must love the city of Thomasville through outreach  and that this is how the church remains relevant in the Thomasville area.

In 2010 Pastor Dave and Alli answered the Lord’s call to lead New Covenant Church.   With their energy, prayerful leadership and heart for people, the church is quickly growing into a dynamic resource center with a local and world impact.   Pastor Dave and Alli have been married for over 20 years and are blessed to have three children including Dj, Rebekah and Levi.
