Welcome to the ministry of Pastors Mike & April Gatlin a place where faith meets authenticity, love is restored, and Jesus is always at the center.
Two Lives. One Calling. All for His Glory.
We are Pastors Mike and April Gatlin — partners in life, ministry, and mission. Together, we carry a deep passion to see lives transformed by the love of Jesus through the power of the Word, the presence of worship, and the restoration of marriages.
From humble beginnings and personal trials to redemptive breakthroughs and powerful testimonies, our story is a living example that no life — and no relationship — is too far gone for God to restore.
We’ve walked through valleys, stood in the fire, and witnessed the redeeming grace of God. Now, we’re committed to helping others find that same hope, healing, and purpose, connect the dots, and figure out what actually helps?

Our Marriage Ministry
No Story Is Too Broken for God to Rewrite.
Our marriage has been tested, refined, and restored by the grace of God — and it’s now the foundation of our calling. We’re on a mission to help couples discover that healing is possible, love can be restored, and their covenant still has purpose.
Through conferences, retreats, one-on-one mentorship, and transparent storytelling, we walk alongside couples from all walks of life. We don't just teach biblical principles — we live them. And we’re proof that God still writes love stories.
The Story God Wrote
A transparent and hope-filled journey through the beauty and brokenness of marriage. In this powerful book, Pastor April opens her heart to share how God turned her pain into purpose and brought healing into their marriage. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s redemptive.
