Meet Your District Superintendent

David Fiedler: North Central district

David Fiedler, North Central district superintendent graduated from Wisconsin State University in Platteville in 1968 with a degree in civil engineering. Before coming to work for the WCG in 1970, he worked as a civil engineer. While employed for Grumman Aircraft, David worked on the lunar module that landed on the moon.

While attending Ambassador College in Pasadena, he worked in the college’s Engineering Department. He was hired into the ministry in 1973. After a few assignments as a ministerial trainee, he began his first pastorate in Liberal, Kansas. In 1977, the family was transferred to Wisconsin where, with the exception of seven years as pastor in Toledo and Findlay, Ohio, they have since resided.

David says he has been married to Linda, “the most wonderful woman in the world,” for more than 36 years. They have three sons living in Oregon, Florida and Wisconsin.

David sensed a call to ministry while at Ambassador and feels privileged to have served our Lord and his people ever since. He and Linda feel blessed to have thousands of friends across the country.

The transformation of our church has deepened David’s conviction that ministering for God was for him. “Now it is seasoned with much more grace and humility,” he said.

For David, being a district superintendent is challenging and satisfying. He has the opportunity to be a sounding board for pastors as well as conduct pastors meetings. His years as a pastor have helped David understand the sense of isolation pastors often experience.

Recognizing that many bivocational pastors have stepped up to the plate under stressful circumstances and with little experience, David is thankful for the chance to assist them in establishing their ministries.
