Our Pastors

Senior Pastor

Randal Cutter is the founding pastor of New Dawn Community Church.

Randal graduated from Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota in 1983 with Highest Honors. He is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin where he received his Master of Divinity degree in 1987. He has done further post-graduate work at Reformed Theological Seminary (Jackson, Mississippi and Orlando, Florida).

Randal is a dynamic teacher of God's truth. He has studied Greek and Hebrew extensively, and informs his teaching with appropriate references without getting overly technical. He has a theologian's perspective on biblical truth, and a pastor's heart for applying living truth to God's people today.

Randal planted his first church in Coral Springs in 1987 for a conservative Lutheran denomination. By the Lord’s direction, that church plant left the Lutheran denomination in 1994, and, in 1995, merged with another congregation to form New Dawn, a non-denominational charismatic congregation.

In addition to his pastoral duties at New Dawn, Randal is also an Elder for the MorningStar Fellowship of Ministries, an international organization that provides relational covering for ministries around the world. Randal has been an ordained member of the Fellowship of Ministries since its inception in 1995. He has also been a professor of the Greek language for MorningStar University's College of Theology.

On the local level, Randal has been a member of the Clergy Coalition of Coral Springs, Parkland, and NW Broward since 1987. Together with Rabbi Mark Gross, he re-established the group in 2000, several years after the group's founder, Rev. Jerry Strazheim, had moved away. Randal is currently a co-chair of the group, along with Rabbi Bradd Boxman of Congregation Kol Tikvah in Parkland.

Randal has ministered extensively in Europe and beyond training and equipping people in their gifts and calling. He is also the author of Whatever You Bind On Earth: Authority Over Hurricanes, which is a call for God's people to lock the gates of hell and unlock the power of the Kingdom in every area of their lives. He is currently completing final editing on his Charismatic translation of the New Testament, as well his new book, Created to Prosper, which will be published in 2024.

Randal has been married to Dawn since 1980. They have three children, Alyssa, Linea, and Joshua.
