This year we celebrate 80 years since Joe Coughlin and the young Frontiersmen of Christain Service Brigade started Brigade camp in Ohio. God has forged this ministry through the talent of many great leaders throughout our history. Each leader has faithfully passed the torch to the next generation. Dave will be stepping out of a central leadership position after serving twelve years as camp director and two years as ministry director. He has the distinction of longest serving director in the 80-year history of Brigade camp in Ohio!
Dave Buncher’s leadership and big presence has helped set an exciting atmosphere of ministry at Brigade Camp for fourteen years. Several generations of junior counselors and collegiates have matured and flourished in their knowledge and practice of worship, skit presentation, and spiritual focus under Dave’s leadership.
Dave’s absence in a central leadership position will create a large hole to be filled. Pray that our camp director and program director, as well as collegiates, junior counselors, and volunteer staff will be endowed with vision and confidence from the Holy Spirit to fill the ministry atmosphere that Pastor Dave infused with passion. CSB exists to equip lay leaders to carry out God’s call in these areas. We trust God will use camp to grow our next generation of leaders into the tools He desires as they carry out His ministry at Ohio Brigade Camp.
We pray Dave will continue to be blessed and be a great blessing in his ministry at Cross of Hope Church (Parma Hts. Baptist). He continues in his role on the Stony Glen Board, and we trust he will not be a stranger to Brigade Camp in the years to come.
