Bishop Steve Yates
Lead Pastor
Some time ago, the Lord called Bishop Yates and his wife, Chineta, to Leesburg to prepare their hearts in planting a multicultural church in Central Florida. As a family, they joined in fellowship at The Father’s House Christian Center; and in just one year, Bishop Yates was asked to come on staff as Life Development Pastor. As Life Development Pastor, Bishop Yates managed the church’s growth tracks, small group, volunteer and educational ministries.
After serving for six years as a Staff Pastor, Bishop Yates and Chineta’s heart began to grow a new burden and vision for the city of Leesburg and all of Lake County. Bishop Yates and Chineta were anointed and blessed by the church to pioneer their new work. Thus Frontier Church was founded.
As Senior Pastor of Frontier Church, Bishop Yates believes in making Jesus a reality in the lives of the people. He believes in Reaching, Raising and Releasing people into the Kingdom of God with his dynamic “line upon line” teaching style, down to earth love of all people and biblical approach to life’s questions. His sincere desire is see people reach their full potential.
