CCL Network Team

David Vaughan

Program Director

Born in Ashland, KY, David feels privileged he grew up as a pastor’s kid, constantly watching with great admiration as his father’s heart for ministry spilled over onto everyone around him. A graduate of Cincinnati Christian University, David devoted his own life to ministry.

After serving churches in Chesapeake, VA and Lexington, KY, David would become Senior Minister at the Westwood Cheviot Church of Christ in Cincinnati, OH. For the next 20 years, he helped serve a turnaround congregation which changed their name to Whitewater Crossing Christian Church. Beginning with an average weekly attendance of about 350, the congregation began to thrive, taking the weekly attendance to over 2300.

David is passionate about helping churches become healthy and more outward focused. He currently coaches leaders and churches as Program Director for the Healthy Church Initiative with the Christian Church Leadership Network.

David and Donna, his wife of 43 years, reside near Charleston, SC, have two children and three grandchildren. David enjoys a good cup of coffee and will not likely turn down the offer of a golf game!

Greg Bondurant

Church Coach

Greg Bondurant's story began in Ohio and took a significant turn in 1984, the year he graduated from Kentucky Christian College and became Youth Minister at the First Christian Church in Odon, Indiana. This church proved doubly special, as it's where he met and married his wife, Tricia. Greg's journey led him to Westerville Christian Church where he ultimately served effectively as the Lead Minister.

He and Tricia have two adult children. After a total of 40 years in ministry in two churches, Greg retired in August 2024. He is a lifelong, Cleveland sports fan which means he is familiar with pain and suffering!

Dave Roberson

Church Coach

David received his undergraduate degree from Cincinnati Christian University in 1976 and his Master’s Degree in Practical Ministries in 2001. David and Monica have been married for 50 years. They have two children and two grandsons.

David served as the Sr. Minister of White Oak Christian Church in Cincinnati for 27 years. Under his leadership, the church was very healthy and became a multi-site congregation. David also served as Sr Minister at the Worthington Christian Church in Columbus, Ohio for almost 10 years and helped the church transition to become an outwardly focused church.

In June of 2019, David retired from his ministry at Worthington Christian and began to serve with The Christian Church Leadership Network. David’s desire, in this stage of life and ministry, is to help other ministers not only survive, but thrive!

David and Monica are now enjoying their grandchildren and living Hoosiers.
