Who We Are

About Spirit of Life

Spirit of Life Christian Ministries is an online biblical teaching ministry founded by Pastor William Dawson. Rooted in the conviction that the Kingdom of God is not only a future promise but a present reality — to be represented in how we live, proclaimed in what we teach, and manifested in what God does among us.

The Ministry

What Spirit of Life Is

Spirit of Life Christian Ministries exists for one purpose: to open the Word of God to people who are hungry for it, wherever they are.

We are not a building. We are a body — gathered online every Friday night, connected through teaching, prayer, and a shared commitment to Kingdom living. Once a year we come together in person in the Los Angeles area for a live gathering, but the ministry reaches far beyond any single location.

Everything we do starts with Scripture and ends in application. The Kingdom of God is practical. It is for every day, not just Sunday morning.

About Pastor William Dawson

Pastor William Dawson

Spirit of Life Christian Ministries was founded in 1997 out of a conviction that the Bible means exactly what it says — that the power, authority, and presence of God are not reserved for another era but available to every believer today. We did not want to simply study what was possible. We wanted to experience it and demonstrate it.

Central to how we are built is the 5-fold ministry described in Ephesians 4: the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher. We believe these gifts are active today and essential to a fully functioning body of Christ.

Pastor William Dawson has led Spirit of Life since its founding in 1997. He leads the Friday night Bible study personally each week and is present at the annual Los Angeles gathering every year.

Pastor Dawson is also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Dawson's Way, where he teaches marriage coaching for men through the 30-Day Marriage Reset and the book Reset Love. What he teaches through Dawson's Way is psycho-education and coaching, not individual therapy, and it is a separate ministry from Spirit of Life.
The Tagline Explained

Representing · Proclaiming · Manifesting · Kingdom

Three words that describe how we approach the Christian life:

Representing

We carry the character of the Kingdom into every environment we enter. How we live is our first sermon.

Proclaiming

We open the Scripture and speak what it says, plainly and without apology. The Word does not need our embellishment.

Manifesting

We demonstrate the power, authority, and presence of God through signs, miracles, and transformation. This is Kingdom living.
