Rev. Dionatan Ferreira
Rev. Dionatan Ferreira was born in Espírito Santo, Brazil, in 1997, and was received into the Kingdom of God through Holy Baptism in February 1998. He grew up in the Lutheran Church, where he was nurtured in the faith from an early age and confirmed in the confession of Christ during his youth. Life in the congregation, participation in worship, and the witness of faithful pastors and teachers were formative in his sense of vocation to the pastoral ministry.

He pursued theological studies at Universidade Luterana do Brasil (ULBRA), receiving his Bachelor of Theology in 2018, and went on to complete his pastoral formation at Seminário Concórdia, São Leopoldo, in 2020. From 2021 to 2025, he served as pastor of Paróquia Cristo para Todos, a dual parish in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, where he carried out his first years of ministry in preaching, catechesis, and the sacramental life of the Church.

In 2025, Pastor Ferreira accepted the call to serve the dual parish of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Amherstburg, and Our Saviour’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Chatham.
