About

My name is Dillon Mogford. I was born and grew up in Junction, Texas. Currently I am study computer graphic design at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas. I am a member of Antioch Community Church (belton), where I co-lead a college life group and play guitar/bass for worship. I long to see the fullness of God in my life and the lives of other people.

Testimony:

I grew up going to Hill Country Baptist Church in Junction, Tx. I started going with my grandparents. Eventually my parents started going and after a few weeks they gave their lives to Jesus. About a month after my parents made that decision I did as well. I was seven years old.

Eventually my parents began leading the youth group, so I was in and around church a lot more. As I got older I got involved in a lot of ministry with in our church as well. I lead Children’s Church, Worship, and I would also teach on the occasional Sunday night service, nursing home service, and some during youth group.

By my senior year of high school all of this stuff I was doing in church had become very empty to me. It was really nothing more than me trying to prove myself to the church and to God. I was about done with the whole christianity thing.

But upon coming to UMHB all of that changed. My aunt and uncle invited me to come to Antioch Community Church with them so I went expecting to just see more of the life that I grew up in. But I was wrong, all the people around me were unbelievable joyful and completely captivated by a God that I had always thought to be a giant judge in the sky. I realized I was missing something. I had never really considered that God could be anything other than a distant condemner of sin who just allowed some people to have mercy by the blood of his son. So hungry to know who God really was and how to get what the people at Antioch had I stared going to a life group.

One night at life group God spoke to me and told me this, “You don’t have to prove yourself to me. I gave you every bit of my acceptance the moment you called my name, all you have had to do is take it.” Those words touched me so deeply. They gave me freedom and have forever changed my life. From then on the freedom and experiences with God continued to come.

Today God is the love of my life. I will give everything else up just to get more of Him, but I don’t just want more for myself. I want others to know the love of God, I long to see others truly experience life with God.
