ABOUT US

Our Vision, Mission & Values

At Miracle Church we are believing for Revival. For God to stoke a fire and passion in our hearts for Him and things of God, for the people of Dubbo and beyond to put their faith in our amazing Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour and for God to show His love for His people through signs, miracles and wonders.

As a Church family, we believe in loving each other and the people of Dubbo with the selfless and life giving love with which God loves us, gathering as a Church family to support each other through the good times and the bad and encouraging each other on life’s journeys as we grow into the image of Christ. This is encapsulated in our Vision to Love, Gather & Grow.

OUR PASTORS

Jono & Dot Nathan moved to Dubbo in 2018 to lead the Church.

As pastors their heart is for a Church where each person works together as one family to fulfil God’s calling for the Church and for their personal life.

In their personal life, Jono & Dot have 2 beautiful children and enjoy spending time with friends and family. They also work during the weekdays in jobs outside the Church, but are always open to make time to help people along their journey with God.

Meet the Team

At Miracle Church our Advisory Team oversees our ministry teams with Pastors Jono & Dot. They are responsible for guiding our Church in a direction that honours God and the calling He has on the lives of our Church family.

We also have a Committee of Management who is responsible for managing the finances of the Church and resourcing the different ministry teams as they work to fulfil the vision God has for Riverside.
