Our
Pastor & Family
Pastor Michael K. Dionne Jr. & Mrs. Jennifer Dionne
Pastor and Mrs. Dionne have 8 kids. 6 boys and 2 girls. The 3 oldest are out on their own, a daughter who passed away when she was 19 months old, 4 children still at home, with 2 grandsons.
Before
starting Goodwill Independent Baptist Church, the Dionne family were at their home
church for over 15 years and have served there in many different
areas. They started becoming active in ministry by going out with Mike and his family to the nursing home and eventually that is where Pastor Mike would preach his 1st sermon.
Through some different things going on in their lives at the time, back around 2016 is when God put it in Pastor Mike's heart to start an
Independent Baptist church over in the area of Kutztown, Pa. God started to work and show him what He had for him and would start the process of figuring out what God would have him to do
to move forward. He would share with his Pastor what he believed God was asking him to do and his Pastor encouraged him to move forward. He would then start studying, training, and being guided by his Pastor, Pastor Kurt LaCapruccia, at his home church, Keystone Independent Baptist church in East Greenville, Pa.
They started a bible study at their home in the summer of July 2021 and have planted Goodwill Independent Baptist Church which held their 1st church service on April 3rd, 2022.
