Jan Hettinga
Jan Hettinga lives in Snohomish, Washington, a community near Seattle. He is Sr. Pastor Emeritus at Northshore Baptist Church where he served as Sr. Pastor from 1979 to 2008.
During his years of ministry at Northshore he led the church into a church planting movement. The Northshore church planting network, or Northshore Network, began in 1996 and Dr. Hettinga continues to lead it today. Fourteen new churches have been started with several more about to launch.
The focus of Jan’s teaching is the life-transforming power of the Kingdom Gospel of Jesus. Without surrender to the leadership of Jesus there can be no heart level change. Bowing and believing, also known as repentance and faith are the two essential sides of salvation. Jan speaks and trains leaders nationally and internationally on transformation and multiplication related topics.
In 2005, Jan earned his Doctor of Ministry Degree in Transformational Leadership at Bakke Graduate University in Seattle. He teaches Kingdom Leadership and Church Multiplication wherever and whenever God opens the doors.
The Kingdom message is the subject of Jan’s book, Follow Me: Experience the Loving Leadership of Jesus {NavPress,1996} of which 33,000 have copies sold. He is working on several new writing projects at present. The Power of Choice is a pamphlet also written by Jan which explains the gospel Jesus and His first followers proclaimed.
Jan and his wife Scharme have three married children and 10 grandchildren. They enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, walking and exploring the world.
