Grace Church Naples does not offer Divorce Support Care Groups. We believe Scripture is clear: God designed marriage as a sacred, lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:6, Malachi 2:16). “What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” Supporting the dissolution of marriage would contradict the very Word we are called to uphold. We stand with the Bible — one marriage, for life.

Pastor & Leadership

Pastor & Leadership

Faithful shepherds committed to teaching the whole counsel of God.

Pastor David Kheeler

Pastor David Kheeler

Senior Pastor

For over 35 years, Pastor David has faithfully proclaimed the unchanging Word of God to families across America. A father of four and grandfather of fourteen, he leads Grace Church Naples with the conviction that strong families build strong churches — and strong churches transform communities.

Pastor David moved his ministry to Naples, Florida with a burden to plant a church that stands without apology on biblical truth — especially in a culture that is rapidly abandoning the family traditions and values that once defined American life.
