ABOUT DAVID NYSTROM
David Nystrom is Professor in Residence at Western Seminary Sacramento Campus, located just north of Sacramento in Rocklin, CA.
His experience in real-world ministry is part of what makes Dr. Nystrom such a valuable asset to the Church. He spent his formative ministry years serving in youth and college pastor roles with local churches, during which time he was ordained by the Evangelical Covenant Church. His role within that denomination grew in scope and influence over the years, as an ex officio member of the Executive Council of the Covenant Denomination, a consultant on matters pertaining to Christian Education, church planting and spiritual formation, and as Theologian in Residence for the Pacific Southwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant church (preaching and teaching at local churches and mentoring their pastors).
Dr. Nystrom's audiences also benefit from his legacy of experience in Christian Higher Education and wealth of New Testament research. What began with undergraduate studies in history at U.C. Davis, progressed into divinity studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, and deepened with Ph.D. studies of the ancient Roman world and the New Testament at U.C. Davis. He proceeded to teach at North Park University and Seminary for more than a decade before moving to the Sacramento area to serve as Vice President of Academic Affairs at William Jessup University. He has also taught as adjunct faculty at several schools, including Western Seminary Sacramento Campus. Most recently (2010-2015) he served as Provost and Senior Vice President of Biola University.
As a native son of Northern California, Dr. Nystrom is no stranger to the Sacramento community. He lives in Auburn with his wife and daughter, in proximity to relatives, friends, and a network of churches who have been touched by his influence.

Chapel Message: "Actions Motivated by God"
"The Christian life is about learning from Jesus patterns of heart, patterns of thought, and patterns of action. I have spent most of my career in pursuit of this vision as a professor and pastor, and I am thrilled to be returning to this essential task."
