Dave Firth
Originally from the UK, Dave and his wife Marsha and their three children (Taylor, Michael and Charissa) are based in New Zealand where Dave is CEO of Authentic Christian Trust and editor of Authentic Men’s Magazine. Previously he spent 11 years at Capernwray New Zealand where he held the position of Communications Manager and directed the 10 week BML (Business, Ministry, Leadership) course.
Dave also worked with Torchbearers International as Communications & Development Manager for 8 years, which saw him work closely with other centres to develop tools to communicate the wider ministry of Torchbearers around the world as well as working with the international office to oversee all Torchbearers promotional activity.
He has visited 20 Torchbearers Centres and has taught at many. He says, "God gave me a passion for preaching and teaching against my wishes! I was the 'behind the scenes' guy, but when He planted the seed of desire to study, He nurtured it into a passion to teach."
Dave has a deep conviction to teach Biblical truth in a bright and refreshing way. “The Bible is an incredible book, but more importantly, it’s all about Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. What else can we do with our time that is as valuable as learning from Him and His word? Not much!”

About The Course
Genesis 1-11: ‘Foundations’
What is our faith built on? What is the difference between ‘believing’ something is true and ‘knowing’ it is true?
The book of Genesis covers over 2,000 years of world history – over half the time span covered in the whole Bible!
We will systematically walk through an overview of the first 11 chapters resting in some places and battling through others with a hope of going deeper into the very heart of God whilst carefully listening to His voice.
Be warned, this is an area that can cause controversy and disharmony, but we will boldly step out in faith, trusting the very person of the Lord Jesus Christ to guide us faithfully through what He said, what He meant, what He did and what is true!
