Pastor Michele Dickerson joined the Guidestone team in August 2025 with a heart full of love for God and people. Though she’s lived all over Southern California and Arizona, Pastor Michele joyfully calls San Diego her hometown. A proud 2004 graduate of Point Loma Nazarene University, she brings with her years of pastoral experience, a passion for discipleship, and a deep belief in the power of community.

Pastor Michele’s interests include Disney (and more Disney!), bonfires on the beach, cheering for the Seattle Seahawks, and most of all, spending time with her husband and children. She finds joy in journaling, mentoring young families, and helping others discover the beauty of walking with Jesus.

At the heart of her ministry is a desire for everyone to know that God sees them, loves them, and created them on purpose and for a purpose. As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Pastor Michele believes that each person is uniquely made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and is deeply committed to helping others experience the transformative love of Christ.

Whether through preaching, pastoral care, or simply sharing a cup of coffee, Pastor Michele’s prayer is that every person would feel welcomed, known, and invited into the abundant life Jesus offers (John 10:10).
