Our Pastor

“To get what you’ve never gotten you’ve got to do something you’ve never done!”

For thirty years, this dynamic multi-gifted and anointed vessel has been traveling and professing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Her ministerial gifts have drawn numerous, young and old, to the Kingdom of God.                          

Highly respected by persons from all walks of life, a teacher, preacher, counselor, mentor, mother, dance instructor and businesswoman, Pastor Dionne Lester, affectionately known as Pastor Dee, reaches into the depths of her existence, draws on knowledge, experience and wisdom, and pours out unselfishly into the lives of everyone she comes in contact with. In talking with her personally or listening to her speak, it becomes apparent that she understands, she’s been there and she knows how to get out!

Pastor Dee received her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, GA and completed her most recent pastoral credentials at Berean Bible College. She is presently Senior Pastor at Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church.

Acts 10:34 tells us that God is no respecter of persons.  This means that yes, anyone can be used by God as long as they yield themselves to him.  This fact and particular scripture is the driving force that pushes Pastor Dee to continue to become a powerful vessel for God.  “You can’t reach destiny trying to look in both directions at the same time. You will then remain where you are, but if you continue pressing forward, only keeping your past failures as a distant reminder that God can deliver; you WILL arrive at a place called Divine Destiny!”

Pastor Dee is a native of Columbus, GA. and the mother to one son Collins Diondre Jones. Because of the many young lives she has touched by way of dance or counsel, she is Mama Dee to hundreds. She is a triple threat for the Kingdom of God, and is on a mission to transform this present world even if she has to do it one soul, one household at a time!
