David Horita
Director of Pastoral Support & Development
Dr. David Horita is deeply passionate about helping both emerging and experienced church leaders thrive in ministry. Drawing on his extensive background as a church planter, senior pastor, and long-time executive leader of Fellowship Pacific, David has a profound understanding of the unique joys and pressures that come with ministry leadership.
Today, he focuses on encouraging leaders through offering an outside perspective that fosters long-term fulfillment in their ministry calling. Beyond ministry, David is an avid builder—with people always topping his list of projects. He has been happily married for over 40 years, and loves spending time with his three sons, six grandchildren, and his clever dog, Winston Furchill.
