Learn about Gloucester Point

We are a community of believers who prioritize the importance of unity. When we say "unity" we mean that we believe unity in our relationships with both God and each other is vital. Jesus prayed that we may all be one, just as Jesus and the Father are one. This means putting God and others first in our lives. Our purpose is to be a church that Loves God, Loves Others, and serves in the world, starting with our community of Gloucester point.

We strive to go beyond the walls and reach those who are lost and lonely, just as Jesus calls us to do. While many churches prefer to stay within their comfort zone, we make an effort to be the church that is sent out, with a vision of bringing transformation to Gloucester Point.  

We place high value on our relationships with one another, as we believe that unity occurs through these connections, leading us closer to God. We place great importance on the word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Our aim is to extend grace to all those who feel lost and lonely, leading them to the hope of Jesus Christ.

Dillon became the Senior Pastor of Gloucester Point Baptist Church in March 2023. He holds a Master of Divinity from Sioux Falls Seminary and a Master of Theology from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Pastor Dillon's ultimate aspiration in ministry and all aspects of life is to bring glory to God. His calling is to preach the gospel and love the people. His deepest passion lies in helping individuals establish a personal and transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Observing that discipleship is often neglected in many churches, Pastor Dillon is driven to foster vibrant family discipleship wherever God directs him, empowering and equipping believers to grow in their faith. The mission of his ministry aligns with the core purpose of any authentic church—to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. By accomplishing this mission, we bring glory to God as more disciples worship Him and carry their crosses in obedience to His Word, eagerly anticipating the return of Christ.

God has also blessed Pastor Dillon with his amazing wife, Nina, and their daughter, Ella. Pastor Dillon is an avid fan of technology and the Lord of the Rings. He enjoys spending time with family and friends, especially escape rooms.
