Leadership

Pastor Dillon came to First Baptist in 2026 after years of pastoring and planting churches in Virginia, including founding The 4041 Church. He holds a Ph.D. and Th.M. from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and an M.Div. from Sioux Falls Seminary, and his research on Charles Spurgeon's teaching about the last things is forthcoming as a book from Christian Focus Publications. Before ministry he spent thirteen years in enterprise IT, so do not be surprised to find him fixing your phone or laptop when needed. More than any degree, he wants to be known as a shepherd who is present, one who opens the Bible faithfully, sits at your hospital bed, and eats at your table.
