Roy Dixon

Black History Month: 2012 Honoree

Roy Dixon

Bishop Roy Dixon is the church pastor at Faith Chapel, which he started in 1985 with only six members. Bishop Dixon understands that a congregation of faith must participate powerfully in community life, and he is committed to helping the poor. Under Bishop Dixon’s leadership and community activism, Faith Chapel has grown to influence not only San Diego, but all of California.

He and the more than 1,000 members also partner with the San Diego Organizing Project (SDOP), a group aiming to grow the church membership and address social injustices in the community. Bishop Dixon has been recognized by the NAACP and former Governors Deukmejian and Wilson with Small Business Awards.

A big decision awaits some voters this July as the race for San Diego County’s Supervisor District 1 seat heats up. Are you ready to vote? Check out the KPBS Voter Hub to learn about the candidates, the key issues the board is facing and how you can make your voice heard.
