Dean Defuria
After graduating from Linfield in 2013, Dean attended UC Irvine and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering. For about ten years he worked on composite structures on projects such as spacecraft and rockets, but ultimately decided to step away and pursue pastoral ministry. He earned his M.Div from The Master's Seminary and currently serves as the Executive Pastor at Mission Bible Church in Costa Mesa, CA. He also hosts a podcast called Christianly, and he spends his free time rock climbing, hiking, cycling, and going on adventures with his wonderful wife, Megan!
When Dean looks back on his years at Linfield, he remembers going to Winter Mountain Retreat and how important it was to disconnect from the normal chaos of life to simply focus on worshipping the Lord together, and he says that while he’s incredibly grateful for the way his AP courses helped him start university with a leg up, Linfield most clearly impacted him through its focus on Christ over popular opinion. He says, “The emphasis on teaching the Bible as the literal Word of God has helped me face the politically correct culture of college and the world. Our current culture tends to indoctrinate people who don’t know what they believe, and it silences anyone who teaches a non-relative truth. The gospel truth does not waver, so I am thankful that Linfield so unapologetically taught the Bible as the lens through which we should view the world.”
