Dinesh & Mignonne Gomes serve with a heart for cross-cultural ministry, leadership development, and spiritual formation in the Body of Christ. Dinesh brings over 20 years of pastoral and leadership experience across Sri Lanka and Canada, rooted in a rich family heritage of Christian service. Mignonne partners in ministry while supporting their family and engaging in local outreach and hospitality. Together, they are committed to preaching the Gospel, mentoring believers, and mobilizing the church for mission.

Dinesh currently preaches in various churches on call while preparing to begin his Doctor studies. His ministry is marked by pastoral care, biblical preaching, and developing healthy church communities.

Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Dinesh responded to a clear and deeply personal call to ministry following the tragic deaths of his two older brothers and a powerful spiritual encounter in his youth. He left a successful banking career to pursue theological training and ordination with the Union of Baptist Churches. From 2008–2014, he served as the lead pastor of Agalawatta Baptist Church, where he oversaw a growing congregation of 250 and launched multiple ministry initiatives.

Dinesh and Mignonne moved to Canada in 2014, continuing their ministry in both Atlantic Canada and the Prairies. Dinesh has served in various roles including transitional pastor, pulpit supply, and ministry intern. His academic journey includes a Bachelor of Theology, a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership (Spiritual Development), and graduate-level studies at Acadia Divinity College. His pastoral vision is one of compassionate care, authentic discipleship, and collaborative leadership.

Together, Dinesh and Mignonne have been married for over 25 years and are blessed with two sons, Andrew and Emmanuel. They enjoy gardening, painting, traveling, and hosting others in their home.
