AfterDark: My Journey with Grief: Overcoming Life's Challenges and Losses

Dave Keehn

Dr. Dave Keehn pursues his call to ministry as both a pastor and professor, utilizing his
gifts of teaching and leadership. Dave joined the full-time faculty at BIOLA University in
the Fall of 2009 and now serves as the chair of the undergraduate Christian Ministries
department in the Biblical and Theological Division of Talbot Seminary.

Dave served in youth ministry for 29 years in two churches (one large and one smaller).
  Dave is now the Lead Pastor at the Cornerstone Community Church in San Clemente,
CA. His passion is to develop church leaders for future generations to follow.

Dave and his wife Debbie – married since 1992 and going strong - have three children:
Aimee, Adam and Mfundo (whom they adopted from South Africa in 2009). Dave’s
desire is to nurture his best friend and ministry partner, Debbie, to fulfill God’s call on
her life and to work together in raising their children to love God and serve others. A
true California boy, you can often find Dave walking on the beach with his family or
Stand Up Paddle boarding in the ocean. When Dave is not at the church or the beach
you can find him fulfilling a boyhood dream of riding on fire trucks. Dave is the Senior
Chaplain for the Orange County Fire Authority in Southern California. His last obsession
is Disneyland, where he often escapes with his wife and kids to create memories!
