Dr. William (Bill) Dinoff, Sr. Pastor

Pastor Dinoff was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1935. He accepted the Lord at a revival meeting when he was in his early twenties and got married to Jean. They began serving the Lord at the Toledo Baptist Temple. In his years as a Sunday school superintendent while attending another revival meeting, he and his wife dedicated their lives to full-time Christian service. They went to Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan in the fall of 1959 and graduated in 1963. After graduation, he pastored a church in Michigan for a year. He felt God was calling him to start a church, and after a visit to Columbus, OH, he knew it was the place God wanted him to be. In the fall of 1964, Pastor Dinoff, his wife, and his two children, moved to Columbus with the vision to reach people with the Gospel in the Columbus area, the United States, and around the world. He has spent the last 43 years trying to fulfill that calling.
