Meet The Pastor
Lead Pastor Poncho & Lora Lowder
Dreamer’s Church was started in October of 2018 by Pastors Poncho & Lora, along with their 4 kids and a small group of people that were passionate about seeing the name of Jesus lifted high in Austin.
Pastor Poncho and Lora have been serving in ministry for the last 25 years. They met in Portland, Oregon while attending Portland Bible College and serving at Mannahouse Church. They married in 2003. Poncho was running two businesses while serving in the youth ministry, Lora was on staff at Mannahouse (formerly City Bible Church) as the small group coordinator, and she served in the youth ministry too.
As time would have it, Poncho and Lora found themselves both on staff full time at Mannahouse, overseeing the youth ministry and a youth conference called Generation Unleashed. After serving a total of 18 years at Mannahouse, they felt the call of God to plant a church to reach broken dreamers. This led them, and their 4 kids, to sell everything and move to Austin, Texas in 2015 with a vision to launch Dreamer’s Church. For the last 5 years they have been co-pastoring, and inspiring a very diverse collective of people in the greater Austin area to pursue God one step at a time.
