David Kinjorski

Youth Pastor

Read Bio

David is a 6-year Air Force veteran who met his lovely bride, Megan, in 2009 while he was stationed in New Mexico. Because Megan is from Poulsbo, the circumstances involving their meeting and marriage 6 months later make for a good story. David grew up as the son of an Army Chaplain and believed on Jesus at the ripe old age of 14, which is part of the reason he feels so strongly about ministering to young people. He enjoys, very much, the study of the Word of God and his primary passions are the building of the church and the proclamation of the Gospel. David also enjoys fine carpentry and the reading of non-fiction from authors such as: John Piper, A.W Tozer, C.S Lewis, Francis Chan, and many others. Given the opportunity, he will also tell you that you must read Ted Dekker books if you enjoy reading fiction in any way, shape, or form.
