The Urban Ministry Institute of Los Angeles

Dave Gutierrez graduated from Dordt College, in Sioux Center, IA, with a BA in Theology and minors in both teaching Bible and missions/ evangelism.  It was during his college years where he sensed God's calling to love those who were hurting and felt compelled to serve in the inner-city. He was married to his wife, Laura, in December of 2001, and in August of 2003, they moved to Los Angeles and began working with World Impact.  Since then, Dave has been involved with two church plants, Transformations Church of Hollywood and Christ the Victor, and is currently the Site Director with The Urban Ministry Institute of Los Angeles.
