Teaching Pastor of Salem EkklesiaFounder-President of NWIICT355 High Street SESalem, Oregon 97301503-881-0513Email: davidimanock@gmail.com

I was ordained into the PCUSA in 1975 and have served in three Presbyterian churches for over 21 years. I also served in 4 interdenominational churches. Currently, I am a teaching-pastor at Salem Ekklesia (SE), which I founded with Dr. Michelle Cox in 2009, a fellow George Fox University graduate school colleague. SE is a non-denominational, informal church with a focus on relationship. SE, as part of its vision and mission, supports a mental health clinic called Northwest Institute for Integrative Counseling and Training (NWIICT). We have served over 3000+ clients with some dozen counselors and therapists working through the clinic. I am also an Oregon Board registered clinical supervisor having supervised 28 postgraduate interns. SE subscribes to the doctrinal statement as reflected in the National Evangelical Association.

Bren received the LORD at her first Communion in her Catholic Church and I gave my heart to the LORD in 1968 at the University of Oregon through the Campus Crusade Ministry. In ministry, I value a team approach and see myself as a solid team player. I have served in 7 different churches in the states of Washington, Oregon and California, having served as a solo pastor (1), senior pastor (3) and an executive pastor in 3 mega churches.

I received my Ph.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Psychology in Pasadena, California. I also hold two master’s degrees: MS. MFT and M.Div. I have been involved in Higher Education since 1999 having served as a full-time graduate professor at George Fox University and was the Director of the Master of Arts of Counseling at Multnomah University. I also have been an adjunct professor at the following schools: Fuller Theological Seminary (School of Psychology), Azusa Pacific University, Western Oregon University, Corbin University, New Hope Christian College and the University of Western States. I am currently the founder and president of NWIICT in Salem, Oregon with the following special focus: research, training, and supervision of interns. I also conduct and supervise supervision training for licensed counselors & therapists who are training to become clinical supervisors. I do work as an executive coach helping business professionals, clinicians and pastoral counselors to grow personally and professionally in their respective fields.

I am a licensed MFT. I have a private MFT and psychotherapy practice and have constructed a new theory combining Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy (EFT), Intersubjectivity Psychoanalysis (IS), Neurobiology and Attachment Theory (AT). EFT is the most researched form of couple’s therapy with an AT, Neuropsychology and Gestalt base. IS is the current state of the art, fifth generation psychoanalysis focusing on two-person psychology. I do integrative counseling having combined the discipline of theology and psychology. I see no contradiction between theology and psychology, but believe that solid, honest theology and psychology fit together. I hold to the historical Christian view of two books: Bible the special book of God’s redemption story and Creation; and the book of nature revealing God’s design. I am trained in research and find that research that is not politically driven can be trusted. In our current society’s debate about human sexuality, I have identified six crucial socio psychological domains built upon the biological foundation as revealed in Genesis 2 and 3. Generally speaking, being informed by Neuroscience, I find that our society is about 10-15 years behind research in its understanding of the human nature and experience.

I conduct research in the following areas: psychometric construction for therapy, counseling education, integrative theory construction, couple’s therapy, PTSD & trauma

psychology, and psychology of transpersonal other or unconscious image of God. I regularly share my research and insights at conferences and have conducted intensive seminars for counselors, therapists and pastoral counselors, presenting my hybrid EFT & IS theory. My Ph.D. dissertation research focused on an individual’s unconscious image of God and adult attachment styles. In the process of my dissertation research, I constructed a new psychological theory to understand transpersonal domains. I am currently theoretically moving beyond the deconstructed Postmodernity’s scattered self-anthropology to a reflected angle image of God anthropology, which is divine, dialectic and dialogical. The latter incorporates significant aspect of relationship to transpersonal with implications for clinical and pastoral work regarding gender & sexuality, relational psychology, religiosity and the spirituality of the client. Based upon neuroscience, psychology can move beyond Western self-identity, self-worth, self-agency, self-efficacy and self-autonomy to self-other worth, self-other identity and etc.

Beyond research and clinical work both as a pastoral counselor and a psychotherapist, it is a delight to be with people and to help them to grow in their walk with the LORD. As a shepherd, I look for three things, using a Biblical metaphor of “walking:” walking before the LORD (faith), walking after the LORD (obedience) and walking with the LORD (intimacy). It is a joy to see people grow in intimacy with Jesus and become a fruitful light and salt in the world. I believe that God has called us in the New Covenant to partner with him to heal a broken world.

On a personal note, I have been married to my spouse, Brenda, since 1975. I was born and raised in Japan, having been adopted at the age of 9. I am Eurasian: my biological mother is Japanese and father is an American with a Scandinavian background. Athletically, I received a scholarship to the University of Oregon and competed as a NCAA varsity gymnast. I see myself as a reserved introvert having married a wonderful Italian who has pulled me out of my emotional cave. We have two adult children: Jonathan, who lives in LA and works for an Internet company; and Maia, who graduated from OSU with a dual degree in finance & physics. She worked for Intel. We spent some 16 years in Pasadena and Burbank and it would be a delight to be called back to the Los Angeles area by our gracious LORD.

What do you do in your free time?

My hobbies include golfing, jogging, watching foreign & Korean T.V. Soap Opera on Netflix and Kdrama while on my treadmill, and riding my BMW 1200RT. I placed 145K miles on 3 BMW bikes and completed two "Iron Butt" rides which require riding 1000 miles in one day: Salt Lake City to Salem and San Diego to Salem. These days, I primarily do long-distance motorcycle riding with three of my Baby Boomer boys––nice midlife crisis! So far, we have ridden throughout the West Coast including Canada. My dream goal is to do a foursquare ride: Salem to L.A., L.A. to Florida, Florida to Maine, and Maine back to Salem. The best moments in my life are the quiet times I have with the LORD and date times with me dear wife of some 44 years.
