David Ferriman started studying the Bible and later the Book of Mormon around the age of 5. He was the president of his seminary class all four years he attended and graduated with high marks. After graduating High School, he felt led by the Holy Spirit to spend a number of years visiting a number of Christian denominations and other religious paths, learning everything he could about as many different denominations as he could. Returning to the denomination of his childhood, Dave took on a number of roles, including local leadership, missionary work, and teaching for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the main Brighamite branch of the Latter Day Saints. There, he would regularly speak to groups of people, educating them on the teachings of our religion or leading in missionary efforts. He has put together a number of programs for teaching, training and outreach, and has preached many times from the pulpit to various congregations. In addition, he was consistently asked to preform various priesthood ordinances and functions.
After leaving the Brighamites, Dave felt moved by the Holy Spirit to start a Latter Day Saint unity movement, the Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship (the Fellowship of Christ). He and his wife, Kristine, are the co-presidents of the Council of Elders that leads this religious organization. There goals in these roles are to unite the Saints and help the spiritually homeless find communities to worship in. As a part of this, David and Kristine have hosed Zoom worship services and other meetings over the years to ensure all that desire fellowship and the sacrament of communion are able to come and partake with fellow Saints.
In addition, David has worshiped with Community of Christ, another branch of the Latter Day Saint movement. He has shared messages from their pulpit and taught Sunday School for one of their local congregations.
