M. Caleb Hayes

 Caleb was born in Bradford, TN in October of 1996 to Jeff and Neshia Hayes. He grew up in the Bradford, Milan and Trenton areas. Caleb was born into the Jesus Name Apostolic movement and then began preaching at the age of 17 within the Baptist movement after his family left the Pentecostal movement. Soon after, not feeling “right” about his faith and the realness of the movement, he deconstructed himself and “divorced” himself from religion altogether. In November 2022, Caleb was connected with The Rev. Fr. Gates through Facebook and his work in funeral service. During this time, Caleb found what he was looking for in religion with the Anglican way of life and reconnected his faith with God. Since then, Caleb has become a Licensed Lay Reader and been a student in our seminary training and pursing the Diaconate Studies to be ordained a Deacon. Caleb also plays piano, organ, “bootlegs” guitar and drums.
