Adjunct Instructor

Steve Clifford is Senior Pastor of West Gate Church in San Jose, CA. Mr. Clifford came to the church in a very unusual way. He was not raised in a Christian home and never intended to become a pastor after becoming a Christian. Steve was a high school teacher and football coach in Texas (Steve’s home, God’s dwelling place) and did not enter into vocational ministry until the age of 30. With a great wife (Dana) and two young boys (Josh and Clay) they began the journey of Dallas Seminary and working at a church in Texas. Steve came to Cal. in 1991 and worked at Santa Cruz Bible church for 10 years before joining Westgate Church in the summer of 2001. Mr. Clifford teaches "Developing Godly Leadership" in the Ministry Programs.
