    Meet Greg A. Dixon:

    Pastor Greg A. Dixon is the Director of Advance, a ministry dedicated to promoting an alliance of pastors, churches, and leaders for inner-city renewal and world evangelism through targeted Christian initiatives. His overarching goal is to self-fund a missionary clearinghouse to support these initiatives through fundraising and preaching engagements, with a vision to encourage churches as institutions to become great missional movements of God.

    After more than 38 years in full-time pastoral ministry, Pastor Dixon resigned to equip and encourage local churches and pastors in fulfilling the Great Commission. He accomplishes this through speaking engagements, interim pastoral support during church transitions, promotion of missional opportunities, stewardship strategies, and advancing the four key initiatives of Advance.

    Through Advance, Pastor Dixon continues to champion global church planting, inner-city outreach, and missional partnerships, focusing on pure, accelerated evangelism to impact communities locally and worldwide.
