Hello Friend,

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my ministry website. I’m honored that you’ve taken the time to explore this site, where spirituality and the wisdom of faith traditions come together.

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to walk alongside individuals from all walks of life on their spiritual journeys. This ministry that God has called me into is grounded in the rich heritage of the Episcopal (Anglican)-Catholic heritage, with its deep reverence for tradition, scripture, and sacrament. Yet, it is also open to the insights and practices of other faiths, recognizing that God speaks to us in many languages and through many paths. Over the last 20 years, I have been blessed to transcend those denominational barriers proclaiming the Gospel through word and sacrament.

I offer a range of ministerial services, including event speaking, teaching at Bible Conferences, officiating ceremonies (Weddings, Funerals, Baptisms, Blessings, etc.) and teaching/preaching at retreats. If I can be of service to you, please contact me.

May the Peace of God be with you always,

—The Rev. Fr. Justin L. Gates

Allow the ancient beauty of the Episcopal-Catholic traditions to assist you in marking the transitions of your life!

The People’s Pastor

Serving all people regardless of background, beliefs or church affiliation.

From the beginnings in July of 2005, Rev. Justin has proclaimed the Gospel to a multitude of people. As a Chaplain for a fire department, he was able to minister to families and individuals during a very traumatic and difficult time. In addition, he has worked in funeral service as a Funeral Associate and as a Licensed Funeral Director, helping families navigate life’s darkest hours. Often, Rev. Justin has been called upon to officiate the funeral service of a loved one who has no pastor. Transcending denominational barriers, the Lord has opened the door in many churches including the Southern Baptist, Independent Baptist, Free-Will Baptist, Primitive Baptist, Nondenominational, Full Gospel, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal-Catholic Churches.
