David A Currie

David A. Currie seeks to nurture passionate, reflective practitioners in his writing, mentoring, teaching, and ministry. Combining a pastor's heart with a scholar's head and a servant's hands, Dave brings together almost two decades of full-time pastoral ministry with a decade and a half of full-time teaching and academic leadership. He has always had one foot in the church and the other in the academy, shifting his weight more on one foot than the other, but never removing either.

Currently, Dave is the Dean of the Doctor of Ministry Program and Ockenga Institute at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, as well as Professor of Pastoral Theology. He regularly teaches doctoral seminars related to worship and preaching, spiritual formation and discipleship, pastoral identity and leadership, pastoral care and counseling, and church planting and evangelism. In keeping with his PhD in Ecclesiastical History, Dave also teaches church history at the master's level.

Previously, Dave has served as a pastor and church planter, as well as working with college students and as an interim minister in Scotland and with a predominantly Asian-American congregation. He continues to assist regularly in leading worship and preaching in his home congregation, often alongside his wife, Susan Porterfield Currie, a spiritual director and founder of the Selah spiritual director training program of Leadership Transformations Incorporated.
