Pastors Jeff and Kara began working in ministry in 2006, shortly after being married. They served faithfully in youth and young adult ministries, worship ministry, and the creative arts for 15 years before feeling the call of God to plant a church in Lakeland in 2021. The Dorsey's have a passion for seeing people encounter God and be radically transformed by His presence. They believe that community and family, as defined by the first-century church, is the heart of God for His church and they foster this at The Dwelling Place as the church community builds a house that sets a table for Him.
