Dave Phillippi, the NW Cary Campus Pastor, oversees both the campus and the staff at NW Cary. Dave grew up in Wilmington, NC where he came to faith at an early age. After graduating from Campbell University, he spent time in the legal field before joining the staff of Port City Community Church for 9 years. Dave was most recently a campus pastor for Lifepoint Church in Wilmington and helped launch their third campus, primarily during the covid pandemic. He and his family moved to northwest Cary in the summer of 2021 and connected to Hope almost immediately. He is excited to join in Hope’s mission to reach the Triangle and change the world, and can’t wait to see what God does through the church. Dave is married to his high-school sweetheart, Melissa, and they have two daughters, Pela and Adelle.
