About Me: (Ministry Info, Hobbies, Fav. Music etc.)

Bishop Christopher Cates spent his early childhood years growing up in Nassau on the island of New Providence. In the 1960’s, his family moved to Freeport on Grand Bahama, but he returned to Nassau over 30 years ago.

He was called from a young age to work with the poor, hurting and disenfranchised. He carried out his outreach to all people; wherever situated, in whatever condition, emergencies or needs. The essential aspect of his outreach was to serve the whole man: spiritual, social, moral, and provide material welfare as they concerned those in distress in the community. He worked in conjunction with statutory bodies and other voluntary societies. He also acted as a “bridge”, particularly to those in the community who had no ties, or very loose ties, with a church, or those denying any spiritual commitment or acknowledgment of God. Instead of the traditional formal approach, he used different and varying methods in encouraging men and women to consider the claims of Christ. Most effectively by friendly conversation; person to person contact; and by practical self-giving and self-effacing service at the deepest point of a person’s need.

After many years of service in compassion outreach, God called him to the ordained ministry. He received his initial counsel for the ministry from Pastor Charles Clifford Smith II, and later mentored under Bishop Andrew Stewart and Bishop Wilfred I. McKinney.

Bishop Cates is a man of ardent compassion and continues to serve as the Executive Director of Operation Compassion (Bahamas).
