MEET THE PASTOR

My name is Pastor Dontai Blount, and I serve as the Founding Pastor of Ethereal Ministries, Inc.

Ethereal Ministries exists for one ultimate purpose: to glorify God—for Him, through Him, and to Him are all things (Romans 11:36). My calling as a pastor flows from that same conviction: that all of life belongs to Christ, and that the Church is called to live faithfully, clearly, and courageously in the world God has made.

A Pastor Rooted in Scripture

I am firmly committed to the authority, sufficiency, and truthfulness of Holy Scripture. The Bible is not merely inspirational—it is God’s revealed Word, fully trustworthy in all it affirms and sufficient for faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16–17). My preaching and teaching are shaped by careful biblical exegesis, historic Christian doctrine, and a desire to see believers grow into maturity in Christ.

At Ethereal Ministries, we do not chase trends or cultural approval. We seek to remain anchored in sound doctrine, even when it is costly, believing that truth leads to freedom and spiritual health (2 Timothy 4:1–4).

Theology That Forms Real Disciples

Theologically, Ethereal Ministries stands within the historic Christian faith, confessing salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We affirm God’s sovereignty in salvation, human responsibility in obedience, and the call to live lives that visibly reflect genuine faith (Ephesians 2:8–9; James 2:17).

Discipleship, as we understand it, is not performance-based religion, but faithful followership—a life of obedience that flows from grace, not an attempt to earn it. Our highest allegiance belongs to Christ alone, above every earthly power or ideology (Acts 5:29).

A Church for the Whole of Life

Ethereal Ministries is built upon five foundational pillars—Faith, Family, Finance, Future, and Fitness—because Christ is Lord over every area of life, not just Sunday worship. The cross stands at the center of everything we do, uniting and sustaining every aspect of our discipleship.

As pastor, I am committed to forming believers who think biblically, live responsibly, steward wisely, love faithfully, and endure with hope until Christ returns.

A Shepherd, Not a Celebrity

I do not see pastoral ministry as a platform, but as a calling to shepherd God’s people through teaching, prayer, care, and accountability. Ethereal Ministries values humility, discernment, and spiritual maturity. We seek to guard against empty religion and false teaching, choosing instead to listen carefully, walk wisely, and endure faithfully in the truth (Ecclesiastes 5:1; Titus 1:10–16).

An Open Invitation

Whether you are exploring the Christian faith, returning to church, or seeking a community grounded in biblical truth and meaningful discipleship, you are welcome here.

My prayer is that Ethereal Ministries would be a church where Christ is exalted, Scripture is honored, disciples are formed, and all of life is lived for Him, through Him, and to Him.

“And we proclaim Him, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.”

— Colossians 1:28
