with Revd Canon Kerry Dixon CA

Tuesday 10th February 2026 at 1pm
Rev Canon Kerry Dixon is a Church Army Evangelist and Rector of St Luke’s, a Church Army Centre of Mission. Under his leadership, St Luke’s has grown from a small congregation of five elderly members to a vibrant community of over 50, running café church, a clothing bank, and a drop-in café, as well as a youth group of 80 unchurched young people and a Kidz Club of 40 junior-aged children.
Kerry has nearly 50 years of evangelism experience and has co-led two churches that experienced significant growth. He has extensive expertise in pastoral care and mission, particularly in supporting individuals in recovery from addiction, having run residential retreats for the Pirate Monks & Nuns community for over eight years.
Previously, he served as CEO of Signpost International, leading development and humanitarian projects across Uganda, Rwanda, Brazil, the Philippines, India, and Russia. His home church is St Mary’s, Nether Stowey, near Bridgwater, Somerset, which shaped his lifelong commitment to faith-based community service.
Known for his compassionate, inclusive, and ecumenical approach, Kerry empowers individuals and communities to rebuild lives marked by hope, resilience, and purpose.

Webinar 14: ’Thinking missionally within a neighbourhood ecology’
with Revd Dr Al Barrett

Tuesday 10th March at 1pm
Revd Dr Al Barrett has been Rector of Hodge Hill Church (on the eastern edge of Birmingham) since 2010, and has been deeply involved with neighbours in a long-term, intergenerational journey of grassroots community-building on his multicultural outer urban estate. This collective grassroots work has in turn shaped his thinking and writing, particularly in the entangled strands of class, race, gender and ecology. Al will be inviting us to pay attention to the work of nurturing community and kinship in a world that feels like it is falling apart, and to see our neighbourhoods as complex ecosystems within which the life-giving Spirit is at work.
