Q. What kind of church is Dawson?
A. Our priority as a church is to be found faithful as God’s people. Our goal is neither to be bigger nor better than any other churches. Instead we want to faithfully follow God’s leadership in every area of our church life. We desire to see people know Christ as Savior and Lord and we desire excellence in our ministry, but we do not do this just to make a church bigger or more efficient. We want to reach people and minister with excellence as a means of being faithful to God.
