Father Emmanuel M. Gutierrez, MTS, serves as the Lead Shepherd of our community. He is deeply committed to Christ-centered formation, sacramental life, and faithful pastoral care. He holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Theological Studies from Saint Louis University, where he was shaped by the Jesuit tradition of intellectual rigor, spiritual depth, and service to others.

​

An ordained Anglican priest in canonical residence within the Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (JAFC) of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Father Emmanuel brings over fifteen years of diverse ministerial experience as a pastor, evangelist, conference speaker, and theologian.

​

He is a frequent speaker on topics such as ecclesial polity, church planting, community activism, priestly identity, and the spiritual disciplines that sustain a life of ministry. His preaching and teaching are marked by a Spirit-empowered message that is theologically rich, biblically grounded, and unapologetically centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

​

Above all, Father Emmanuel is a shepherd at heart—dedicated to walking with God’s people and leading each person, in love and truth, toward the liberating and transforming heart of Christ.
