David Rose was born in Louisville, KY and lived in the Bluegrass State for all of his childhood. During his teenage and young adult years, David responded to several external challenges by falling into a destructive pattern of behavior that would not only get him in early trouble with the law, but also have him questioning the meaning and purpose of life itself. From these dark times in his early life, David found purpose and hope through a personal faith encounter that changed his path, saved his soul - and gave him renewed purpose for the rest of his life.

Pastor David Rose has committed the rest of his life to helping others find the hope, meaning, and purpose he found from some of life’s lowest places as a young adult. Now, David Rose is an ordained pastor in the Church of God, holding the title of Bishop within the denomination. With a total of 10 years of pastoral experience, he has  served as a Lead Pastor for 8 years and a Youth Pastor prior to that. Currently, David leads Restoration Hope Church in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, which began as a Church Plant in 2020, initially meeting in his home before expanding to parks and Hotel Conference rooms. In early 2022, the  church secured its current location. 

Prior to his role at Restoration Hope Church, he successfully pastored another Church Plant  in Kentucky. 

In addition to his role as Lead Pastor, Pastor David is active in his community and the  Church of God denomination. He serves as the Vice President of London Bridge Christian  Churches, a collaborative effort among local pastors to promote unity in Lake Havasu City's faith  community; and serves on the Board for River City United Way. Furthermore, he contributes to the  Church of God denomination at the state level, serving on the Division of Care Board, the Church  Planting and Revitalization Board, and the Arizona COG State Council.
