Meet Pastor David and Michele Pleasant
Pastor David and Michele served for seven and one-half years as Senior Pastor in Altha, Florida, before coming to Fort Myers in 2002 to serve Covenant Community Ministries in the same capacity. And like his father and grandmother before him he ministered within a denominational setting. Early in 2009 the Lord gave Pastor David a vision so vivid and so powerful that it would alter the course of his ministry forever, calling him to give up “everything,” including the security of denominational affiliation. Citygate Ministries was born of this vision. It would be a church of “24-7” lifestyle Christianity, not just a Sunday morning affair. And it would be a place where people could be “elevated” to the next level—a place where boundaries would be redefined.

What a Sunday!
God moved in powerful ways and we’re still in awe.
Let this be the fuel for your week—He’s not done yet.
#Sunday #GodIsMoving #CitygateMinistries
God doesn’t call you by your condition—He calls you by your calling.
Because His grace meets you where you are… but His love refuses to leave you there.
Transformation starts when you stop seeing yourself by your past and start believing what God says about your future.

Sunday was powerful!
Part 2 of our Ordinary People series reminded us that God uses everyday people — just like you — to do extraordinary things. 💬🙌
Your position in life or the worth the world assigns you doesn’t define you.
God calls ordinary people to walk in extraordinary purpose — just like He did from the very beginning. 🚶♂️➡️🔥
This is your season to step into your calling!

“When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” 🩸
This isn’t just a powerful lyric—it’s a covenant promise. In Exodus 12, God didn’t look inside the house to judge who was worthy. He looked for one thing: the blood of the lamb.
That blood was the covering. That blood was the protection. That blood was the rescue plan.
You are not saved by your perfection, but by the spotless Lamb—Jesus.
Sin can’t stay. Death can’t enter. You are covered.
▶️ Watch the full message and rediscover the power in the blood that still speaks today.

Easter Weekend was something special!
From the start of our new series Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things, to the powerful live pottery demonstration reminding us of how God shapes and resurrects us, and the joy-filled walkthrough with our Kids Ministry — it was a weekend to remember!
Thank you, Citygate family, for showing up, worshiping together, and celebrating the hope we have in Jesus. Let’s keep living out the resurrection story!

Life can feel like it’s not moving.
Like you’re waiting for something to change… but nothing has.
The good news?
Just because you don’t see progress doesn’t mean God isn’t working.
Here’s where you can find real hope:
- John 11:25 — “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me will live even if he dies;”
- Ezekiel 37:5 — “Thus says the Lord God to these bones, ‘Behold, I will make breath enter you so that you may come to life.”
- Philippians 1:6 — “…He who has begun a good work in you will perfect and complete it…”
Even in stillness, God brings life. You’re not stuck.
You’re being prepared for something new.
