At Open Icon Baptist Church, we value great preaching — preaching that engages deeply, humbly and honestly with Jesus, the Bible, and the pain and joy of living in the real world. And since going permanently online, we have been able to welcome great preachers from all over the world without having to wait for them to visit our shores.

Andrew Dodd

Andrew has been pastor of the Hamilton Baptist Church in Newcastle NSW since 2003. When Hamilton and Edgeworth Baptist Churches merged in late 2016 he became pastor of the combined church, which retained the name “Hamilton Baptist”. He loves the church’s open and communal approach to thinking through areas of faith and practice, and has been an enthusiastic facilitator in the church’s journey of being LGBT inclusive. On a wider field he has also been a retreat group facilitator and Church Consultant with the Baptist Association. Andrew is very involved in the local running community as a regular volunteer at Newy parkrun on Saturday mornings and is affiliated with a number of running clubs where he is affectionately known as Doddy or The Doddfather! Having hit 60 he still tries to run a marathon a year and loves running on trails and by the spectacular Newcastle coastline – as well as swimming, cycling and going to the gym. Doddy grew up on the northern beaches of Sydney and has spent almost all his adult life in Newcastle and the Hunter. His ministry training has been at Tahlee and Morling Colleges. Andrew is married to Felicity and between them they have seven adult children.
