Our beloved pastor and evangelist, Reverend Ernest Angley, went home to be with his Lord on May 7, 2021.
Ernest Winston Angley was born on August 9, 1921, in Mooresville, North Carolina to the late Julius and Fannie Angley.
At the young age of 18, Rev. Angley gave his heart to the Lord and began his lifetime of service to win the lost at any cost. He preached the Gospel in its fullness; and the Lord blessed the people with salvation, miracles and healings.
While attending college, Rev. Angley started dating his future wife, Esther Sikes; and together, they came to Akron, Ohio and established Grace Cathedral and later, Ernest Angley Ministries.
Rev. Angley was preceded in death by his beloved wife Esther (Angel), brothers and sisters, Judson, Clyde, Lillian (Tay), Leitha (Pete), Cleo and Bea. He is survived by his dear sister-in-law, Aline, much-loved niece Gail and many other family, friends, members of Grace Cathedral and ministry partners.
Reverend Angley will be greatly missed. He was not only a pastor, evangelist and author; he was also a true friend and a spiritual leader who cared deeply for his staff, congregation and ministry partners. They all loved him very much.
Rev. Angley's legacy comes from his own words. "If I die before the Rapture takes place, I'd want these words to be said about me: He pleased God."
Rev. Angley's favorite scripture passage was: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5,6)
