Our Pastors

Joel and Katie Milgate are the Lead Pastors of Curate Church. They have four children; Alessandro, Micah, Charlie and Violet.

They have been in ministry for over 16 years and since re-launching Curate under their leadership in 2011, Curate has grown from strength to strength. Joel and Katie are co lead pastors, with Joel focused on vision and teaching and Katie the culture and Staff. They are both gifted communicators and anointed leaders who love God and love people and just want to see people become disciples of Jesus.

Governance

Because our board are all volunteers, we ask that any communication with them be made through the email chairperson@curatechurch.com. This will enable them to streamline communications.

Governance is provided to Curate Church by its Board. Our board is working hard to ensure great governance and to enable wise choices to be made during this transition season.
