Dr. Dave Keehn has served in youth ministry for 29 years in two churches (one large and one smaller). Dave is now the Teaching Pastor at the Cornerstone Community Church in San Clemente. Dave joined the faculty at Biola University in the Fall of 2009, and currently serves as the Department Chair for the Christian Ministries majors. His passion is to develop church leaders for future generations to follow.

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!

Dave and his wife Debbie have been married for 25 years and 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..
