Leader Bio:
I am a Utah native and was raised in a devout LDS family. Jesus claimed me when I was 19 and placed me with the Baptists for several years. After a divorce ended 24 years of marriage, and I raised three teenagers as a single father. Dave and Becky live in Salt Lake City. My daughter Jessica and her husband have four children. They live too far away in Monument, CO. My experience of my own brokenness — failures in marriage — gives me great patience and hope with others like me. God can still use us! I rejoice and feel very blessed to be married to Dawn McNulty Wakefield. Dawn is a pediatric physical therapist and she has a great heart for ministry—especially with children. We are enjoying serving God together in all that we do.
God has used me in a number of ministry contexts. I served a Quaker community congregation in Deer Trail, Colorado, and Baptist congregations in Minnesota and Utah. I helped start Salt Lake Theological Seminary in 1984 and served as professor of Biblical and Spiritual Theology until it closed in 2009.
As lead pastor, I gladly share a full range of pastoral duties with Pastors Jeff Tally and Susan Westland. I find my greatest joy serving at Good Shepherd when I see people experience God our Father’s great love. We love, because God first loved us!

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church History
The way, the truth, and the life
Lord Jesus, thou who art the way, the truth, and the life; hear us as we pray for the truth that shall make all free. Teach us that liberty is not only to be loved but also to be lived. Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. It costs too much to be hoarded. Help us see that our liberty is not the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to please to do what is right.
