About Us

Ian Dunn was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. At the age of 21 he had a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ and immediately began making plans for full-time ministry. After completing a Bachelor's degree in Theology at Aldersgate College in Saskatchewan, he finished his Masters work at Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. He has pastored for 20 years in various roles, with significant focus in teaching, training and equipping, and prayer counseling ministries.

Through ministry to hundreds of men and women, and through learning to overcome a troubled past, Ian has discovered many of the keys of the kingdom of God.  He has seen God work in miraculous and life-changing ways in himself and in others.  He has seen the power and grace of God in his marriage relationship, parenting, pastoring and prayer counselling.

Ian, is a biblical teacher at heart.  He majored in and excelled at inductive biblical studies in Seminary and was solicited on different occasions to become a professional teacher.  However, it was and remains a life conviction of his that teaching abstracted from real experience of the power of God quickening what is taught is a major contributor to the church's powerlessness in the Western context.  So, he committed himself to teaching "inline," discovering how God meets people in power through teaching biblical truth, worship and prayer, creating real life change.

The result is that he brings a unique blend of excellent biblical insights and real-life stories to all of his materials and seminars.

Ian is currently the Lead Pastor of Gateway Church, a dynamic growing community of believers reaching out to the Ottawa Valley. He and his wife, Janice (Campbell) have three wonderful children, Jonathan, Krista and Jacob who fill all their spare moments with fun and adventure.
