David Hearn is a revivalist at heart and lives by the enthusiastic cry, “Do it again. Lord, do it again!” After graduating from Canadian Bible College with a Bachelor of Theology degree in 1981, he married Agnes and they began their first ministry posting at Ritson Road Alliance Church in Oshawa, where he was the youth pastor. A few years later he became the senior pastor of Bramalea Alliance Church and served there for the next 14 years. In that time, Agnes and David added three daughters to their family.
David felt that God was directing him to pursue further education, and so the family moved to British Columbia where he completed an MDiv at Regent College. Upon graduation he began serving as the senior pastor of Lake Country Alliance Church in the Okanagan Valley. He was invited by the district superintendent of the Canadian Pacific District to consider becoming an assistant district superintendent in charge of church vitality. His passion has always been to serve in a local church, but he felt the call of God to begin a journey into serving pastors.
After three years he was elected as the district superintendent and served for seven years. In 2012 he was elected president of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada. It was an amazing journey of watching God bring spiritual breakthrough around the world. During the nine plus years he led the Alliance he saw more people saved, healed, delivered from demonic bondage, and filled with the Holy Spirit than in all his previous years of ministry combined.
David has always been committed to be a lifelong learner, and three months after his 60th birthday he graduated from the Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, New York, with a DMin. He now serves as the senior associate pastor at Kamloops Alliance church and is also a part-time farmer with four horses and 26 chickens. The family has grown to now include five grandkids.
His fire for revival has never been stronger. His life and ministry are summarized in six words; Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, mission-focused.
