We are a site dedicated to our two greatest passions; The Lord God Almighty and the Ford Mustang. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds!
We believe that we can use our passion for Mustangs to help reach people for Christ. We believe that Ford Mustangs can lift the spirit and allow each person to create their own special ride. We like to use this site as a way to collaborate with other Christians and Churches in order to use our hobby as a way to reach the surrounding communities.
So jump in, check us out and use our site as a way to facilitate mutual support, recognition, and the exchanging of ideas. We work to encourage a thriving community of owners and enthusiasts within Mustang Ministries.
We can also come to your church or local event to arrange classes, lectures, performances, and car shows in an effort to enrich the lives of all those in your community.
We are always looking for crew members. Send us an email if you would like to join, or just stop by. Our doors are always open.

How it all began....
One night when Jamie, Kena, David, and Paula went out to dinner the talk turned to how their passion for Jesus Christ and their love of Ford Mustangs could be combined. During the course of conversation through dinner it was mentioned that a website could be setup that allowed Christian Mustang enthusiasts to come together and discuss both spiritual and mustang topics.
Another topic was that so many churches have members who love cars but don't know how to harness that passion in order to strengthen their congregation. That's when we talked that we could help churches and individuals connect.....thus Mustang Ministries was born.
If you would like to get involved, send an email to one of the "crew" below.
Pastor J
Reverend Jamie Estes, also known as "Pastor J" is a huge Mustang enthusiast. Jamie was a youth pastor at 2 different churches over 6 1/2 years. Jamie also has a Masters Degree in Ministry from Covington Theological Seminary.
Last year Jamie published his first book: "A Walk Through the Book of Matthew", available at Amazon.com

While his passion is for Christ, he also has a true love for Mustangs. His current project was started almost two years ago when he ordered a Tungsten Grey Stage 3 Roush Mustang. Since ordering it he has changed out several items including adding a custom front grille, Cervini Side louvers, Window louvers, and a Cervini hood with Shelby Hood pins. Under the hood he has added a Roush strut brace, engine dressup pieces, and a C&L cold air intake to allow his supercharged beast to breathe better.
Inside the car, he has added a Raptor shift light, Air/Fuel, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Boost, and Voltage gauges. He has also added a push button start and additional carbon fiber pieces to the dash.

Deacon D and CoPilot
David and Paula, also know as Deacon D and CoPilot, are the perfect compliment to each other as a Mustang family. Paula has the taste to create the perfect car and Dave has the ability to make it happen. Aside from great talent and taste, David and Paula have hearts for God and a willingness to serve others.
Their Mustang of choice is a 2007 Modified GT. The Grabber Orange color itself is enough to seperate them from the competition, but the white side stripes, Street Scene front end, and extra accents are just the icing on the cake.
While it would be difficult to list the numerous modifications that have been done to this GT to make it a one of a kind, it would be almost impossible to keep the modifications up to date considering the constant upgrades going on.
And while David will deny any drivetrain changes, this car is anything but normal. The power under the hood is enough to jerk your head back in the quarter mile.

Roushelle
Kena Estes, also know as Roushelle, is a big Mustang fan but an ever bigger Jesus fan. While she likes Mustangs, her talents also include a giving heart and a great singing voice.
Her Mustang of choice is a 2007 Roush Roadster, which is a two tone convertible; Black/Redfire. The car was manufacturer by Roush Performance and limited to 100 cars. However, what makes this car really stand out is that Jack Roush himself drove this car off the showroom floor and did a burnout in it! It's the first customer car that Jack put through it's paces.
The Roadster sits on 20" rims and sports a Roush body kit with a 2" lowering kit in the rear. It also features custom leather seats with "Roadster" embroidered in the seats and a carbon fiber dash and a short throw shifter.
