PASTOR, DR. DAHL A. MOSS
Pastor, Dr. Dahl A.

Pastor Moss is a proud husband, father to two sons, Kahlil and Kyle, and father-in-love to Jayda.
Currently serving in the hospice community as a market manager, Doctor Moss provides education and support to individuals who are terminally ill as well as those who are exploring their faith in God. He serves in the continuum of those who are exploring faith and actively dealing with sickness, dying, and death. His ministry is marked by a passion for introducing others to Christ, fostering connection, and making disciples.
Pastor Moss’s academic journey has been marked by a pursuit of excellence and a passion for pastoral care. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Christian Ministries from Point University, a Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary, Clinical Pastoral Education from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Grady Health Systems, and a Doctor of Ministry from McAfee School of Theology.

He is a member of Changing Lives Ministries, under the leadership of its founder, Bishop Geoffrey Vincent Dudley, Sr., PhD, D.Min., of O’Fallon, Illinois. His life outside ministry is filled with joy in the simple pleasures of RV’ing with friends, deep-sea fishing, and savoring the art of barbecue—each pastime providing moments of reflection, relaxation, and fellowship.
At the heart of Pastor Moss’s ministry is an unwavering belief in the healing and redemptive power of Christ. He passionately affirms that there is room at the table for all of God’s children, leading and loving with open arms. His ministry is characterized by compassion for the lost and a relentless pursuit of sharing Christ’s transformative love with the world.

BRIEF HISTORY OF NEW LIFE COLUMBUS
In March of 2018, Pastor Dahl’s attention was drawn to Columbus, Georgia. As he observed the context of the city, he was led to fast and pray for the people in the community. As he and his wife prayed for the city, a series of events happened to draw them into the city. In August of 2018, they answered the call of God to move to Columbus. After they said yes to God, their steps were ordered for God’s church to be established. Since their arrival in 2022, God has connected them with both churched and unchurched individuals who are ready to grow in their faith, family, marriages, and be a part of a loving community.
New Life Columbus is a Non-denominational, hybrid-church, covered by the leadership of Bishop Geoffrey V. Dudley Sr., Ph.D, D.Min, founder of New Life in Christ Church of O’Fallon, IL. The major focus of this ministry is to respond to the Great Commission by making disciples and changing lives in our lifetime.
