Dave Enns, Growth Groups Pastor North Coast Church

Dave Enns has been on staff at North Coast Church since 1990 and is the lead pastor of Small Groups. His passion since youth has been to create an environment for people to connect and experience life to the fullest. Dave oversees a team of 32 staff, 1,500 lay leaders, and over 7,000 participants in groups. It is through Dave’s leadership that North Coast remains well-known for maintaining over 90% adult participation in weekly home groups. He has also played an integral role in helping North Coast grow from 700 to now over 10,000-weekend attendees. These experiences have given Dave a wealth of practical know-how in successfully identifying and adapting ministry strategies for growth and breaking through roadblocks. They have also made Dave’s coaching and training of new and veteran ministry leaders around the country relevant and valuable, no matter the size or type of ministry they lead. Dave has a bachelor's Degree in Christian Education from Biola University, a Master of Divinity from Bethel Theological Seminary, and has served as an adjunct professor at Biola University.
