A farewell conversation with Rev. David C. Strosahl
After 22 years as pastor of First Baptist Church of Southington, the Rev. David Conrad Strosahl will retire on Oct. 4. He is being hon­ored Sunday at a celebration at the Aqua Turf Club. Upon retirement, he and his wife, the Rev. Cynthia “Cyndi” Johnston Strosahl, are moving to a new home in Biddeford, Maine, which has been the host state of their family vacations since they were married in 1982. Their son Andrew, 26, lives only 32 miles away in Dover, N.H. as does their daughter, Sarah, 22, who attends the Universi­ty of New Hampshire. Their retirement holds the promise of being enriched by famil­iar surroundings and prox­imity to family. Strosahl was born on Oct. 8, 1947 in Plainfield, N.J. At age 7, his family moved to its ancestral home in Hones­dale, Penn. He attended Mansfield University in Mansfield, Penn., and earned a bachelor of science degree in education in 1969. While in college, a stronger, higher calling came, so upon gradu­ation, he took a brief posi­tion as a social sciences teacher while awaiting ad­mission later that year to An­dover Newton Theological School in Newton Center, Mass. In 1972, he received a master’s degree in divinity and accepted a position at the Lincoln Park Baptist Church in West Newton, Mass. From 1976 to 1987, he served as pastor of First Bap­tist Church in Hudson, N.H. He met, and in 1982 married, Cyndi Johnston, who was also attending Andover New­ton. She graduated in 1986. A year later, with toddler, An­drew, and infant, Sarah, in tow, the young family arrived in Southington, where he be­came pastor of the First Bap­tist Church, located at 581 Meriden Ave., a church that was founded in 1738. He suc­ceeded the Rev. Gordon Swan, now a director of the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts. - (complete article in The Southington Citizen)
