REV. DOMINIC DE SOUZA
Rev. Dominic De Souza is a Church & Leadership Catalyst with a passion for revitalising the Church and rekindling faith across the nations. His journey began as a teenage leader at Kensington Temple in the mid-1990s, followed by a Theology degree at Cambridge University where he was an award-wining student.
Dominic's diverse ministry experience includes directing a Bible college, pioneering new churches, pastoring mid-size congregations, and leading in some of the largest churches in the nation. His path has led him from London to Letchworth, to Norwich, and most recently Cardiff, where he served as Senior Minister of City Church. He has also contributed to various national organisations by serving on boards and advisory councils; he is on the National Leadership Team of the Elim Pentecostal churches.
Dominic is skilled in empowering leaders to reach new levels of spiritual leadership, visionary and strategic clarity, and structural effectiveness. Developing and equipping leaders in both Church and marketplace settings is a particular joy for him.
Known for his dynamic preaching and ministry, Dominic communicates God's Word with clarity and conviction in the power of the Holy Spirit. He helps people integrate faith into daily life and empowers believers to understand, defend, and share Christian truth effectively.
Dominic is married to Catherine, who is also an Elim minister and the CEO of Prison Fellowship England & Wales.
Maximise Life 2025 is delighted to welcome the teaching ministry of Rev. Dominic De Souza.
