Jono Dickinson

I grew up on the beaches of sport mad Newcastle where I also trained as a primary school teacher. Whilst teaching in Far West NSW, I met an interesting group of Christians my own age, with a far more robust faith than my own.

This was a Cornerstone Community mission household: Half a dozen of God’s people discovering what it is to be genuine disciples of Jesus and how to co-operate with God’s missionary activity where they lived. I was inspired to re-discover God and made a move to be trained as a disciple of Jesus at Cornerstone Community Bourke.

After twenty years of teaching, discipling and mission engagement with Cornerstone Community in Bourke and Dubbo, my wife and our family joined the training campus at Swan Hill to lead a committed team winning, training and mobilising genuine disciples of Jesus.

I’ve discovered that Jesus’ gospel message is relevant for Australians but they often need to see that it works before they’ll hear the theory. My vision is to lead a missional community of ordinary people living spectacular lives with the developing ability to provide God’s meaning for those seeking truth.

If you want to obediently respond to Jesus’ invitation to “come follow me” and God’s calling to be His missionary people, then get in touch with us.
