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.

No matter where you are or what you’re walking through, God’s promise is still true: “I am with you.”
At Citygate Church in Fort Myers, we believe scripture reminds us that we’re never walking alone. When life feels uncertain, hold on to the hope that God’s presence is steady and unshakable.
Carry this truth with you today: His love goes with you into every moment.
‘I can’t, I have plans for Sunday.’
And trust me… they’re the best kind. 👇
Come see what Sundays at Citygate are all about! 🧡
Holding on to unforgiveness doesn’t just keep the other person stuck—it keeps you stuck. Jesus is the only way we can truly release the weight and walk in peace.
This week, ask yourself: Who do I need to forgive so I can finally move forward?
David is remembered as a warrior, a giant-killer, a king… but even he faced fear and discouragement.
In 1 Samuel 23:16, when David was hiding for his life, Jonathan “strengthened his hand in God.” That means Jonathan reminded David of God’s promises, lifting him when he couldn’t lift himself.
👉 Real courage isn’t just about inner strength. It’s about having people who speak truth into your life when you’re weary.
Community matters. Your faith is stronger when it’s not just your voice, but the voices of others reminding you of God’s goodness.
💬 Who is the “Jonathan” in your life? Someone who encourages you in faith when you need it most?
Strength doesn’t always look like standing tall.
Sometimes strength is having family and community who refuse to let you stay down.
When you can’t carry yourself, let others carry you closer to Jesus.
That’s what courageous community does.
Part 5 of our series Courageous Community was incredible! 🔥

God’s Kingdom values > culture’s rules
Culture is always shifting the rules—what’s right, what’s normal, what’s aceptable.
But God’s Kingdom doesn’t move with the trends.
His standard is steady, unshakable, and higher than anything culture can create.

How you start your week shapes everything that follows.
What if this week you chose surrender over control?
Trust God’s plan, and watch how freedom unfolds!

Totally unbiased. Completely casual.
Absolutely not filmed by Pastor Matt himself. 👀😂
But seriously… you should come to church this Sunday.
It’s different here — and you’ll feel it the moment you walk in.
