Dave & Joy Ness
Senior Pastor

Who am I? A servant of God. That’s it! From asking Jesus into my heart at the age of five to answering a call to preach at 16 to school at Mid-America Nazarene University, followed by Nazarene Theological Seminary, to the nearly 30 years of ministry which have followed, there is nothing like serving God! I love being a pastor and I love North Seattle Church of the Nazarene! I also love the wonderful wife and two children God has given me. My wife, Joy is an elementary school teacher.
My first ministry assignment was to plant a church in Cordova, Alaska. Subsequent pastorates were in Carson, Washington and Longview, Washington, as well as interim assignments in Gig Harbor, Kalama, Carson (again!) and North Seattle, where the Lord made it clear I was to accept another long-term pastoral assignment after first serving as an interim here. In 2005, I began a non-profit ministry called Servant Connection, dedicated to the spiritual transformation of America. Hundreds of devotionals I have written are available through the Servant Connection web site: http://PrayingforAmerica.org.
If you are looking for a church family, I highly recommend this one! It took me about two hours to fall in love with these people. Your experience might be the same. Just ask the Lord for direction, and He will be faithful to show you the way to go. If God leads you to fellowship with us, we will consider it a privilege.
God bless you! Choosing to serve Him is the best decision you’ll ever make.

On September 13, 2011, I will celebrate my 10 year anniversary at NSCN! Prior to coming to work at NSCN, I worked at Boeing for 15 years. I’m married to Bill Rogers, who is my best friend and I have two wonderful teenage kids who are the light of my life, Jake (18) and Alyssa (16). I’ve been active with the youth at NSCN and am currently serving in the children’s department teaching Children’s Church twice a month. A few of the things I enjoy in my spare time are crocheting, Facebook, walking, digital photography, scrapbooking, gardening, cooking and camping and of course spending time with my family.
