Our Staff
While we all bring God-given talents and unique perspectives to our ministries at The Harbor, one thing will always remain the same about our staff, we all believe wholeheartedly in our mission to help people love fully and live authentically with God and others.
Meet our Pastors
Pastor David Towner and Tonya Towner
DAVID TOWNER: Senior Pastor
David came to know Christ as his Lord and Savior on October 26, 1984 with a cast on his leg. That’s where it all started… Called to ministry in June 1988 while interning in a college ministry at Neighborhood Church in Chico, California, “PD” (as he is known here at The Harbor) thought that he would one day be a missionary overseas. God had other plans. He was already weaving, and Pastor Dave met his wife, Tonya, and married her at that very same church.
David has been the Senior Pastor here at The Harbor for over 27 years. His passion is to see people come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ, so they too can experience the same peace and love that he did back in 1984. On a weekly basis, Pastor Dave is focused on helping the church staff and ministry leaders keep the mission and vision of The Harbor at the forefront of their minds and encouraging the church body to live authentically and love like Christ.
Fun Fact: David is a published author! He penned Today Is My Favorite Day, along with its companion prayer book and workbook. He is also a popcorn aficionado!
TONYA TOWNER: Director of Human Resources & CR Coordinator
Tonya has played an integral role in different areas of ministry here at The Harbor since 2000. However, it was in 2010 that she got involved with the Celebrate Recovery Ministry; at the end of 2014 she took over the running of this program along with her co-leader, Digger DiGiovanni. Each week Tonya oversees the facilitation of the CR ministry here at the Harbor, as well as managing the Human Resources department for the church.
I also love creating our sermon series graphics and editing videos to share Gods message online on social media with the world. I am a jack of all trades and have worn many hats over the years. Its been a journey!
Fun Fact: I love cats and teaching them how to do tricks! (yes you can!) I also love to buy my grandkids gag gifts for their birthday or Christmas and watch them play sports, or make video dance crazes on Instagram with me.
KIM MCCOLLOUGH: Book Keeping & Office Manager
Kim is our amazingly organized Office Manager! When you call the church office, don’t worry, you did not call the wrong number – Kim is from Mississippi and brought her accent with her! On a weekly basis, Kim oversees the church finances, organizes and plans women’s events, and manages church and staff operations for the church office.
After graduating from Pensacola Christian College (where she majored in Accounting and Business Administration) Kim married Russell, and they have one daughter, Megan.
Fun Fact: When Kim is not in the office, she loves to travel and loves to visit her happy place: garden center.
MARK MAIVILLE: Harbor University Pastor
Mark serves as our Discipleship Pastor. Becoming an ordained minister was a natural next step for Mark after serving as a trustee and elder for over 30 years. Mark is a graduate of Leto High School and the University of South Florida. Prior to retiring from his professional career in the IT industry, Mark held executive positions with GTE, Verizon, and Syniverse. Mark and his wife Faith, are former long-term officers and members of Covenant Riders (the Tampa chapter of the Christian Motorcyclist Association).

Tampa with his French Bulldog, Mabel in February, 2022. Stuart attended Celebrate Rovery in
February, 2023 and discovered that his ship would be safe in “The Harbor”, and joined the
