From Addiction to Ministry in the City: Pastor Terry Dinkins and The Mansion Church

In this episode of the Christian Civic League Podcast, Nick Adolfson sits down with Pastor Terry Dinkins of The Mansion Church in Bangor, Maine. Pastor Terry shares his powerful personal testimony — moving from years of alcohol and drug addiction to finding new life in Christ. He recounts how God called him into jail and prison ministry, eventually leading him to plant The Mansion Church, a ministry focused on reaching the formerly incarcerated, the homeless, and those struggling with addiction. He also speaks candidly about the challenges facing Bangor — including drug use, homelessness, and current policy approaches — and explains why he has decided to run for Bangor City Council. This is an encouraging conversation about the transforming power of the Gospel, the vital role of the local church, and the importance of Christians engaging in their communities with both truth and compassion.
