Dalton Gates is one of three guitarists in OSC. He also plays drums and bass. When not with OSC, Dalton leads worship at Bayou Sara Baptist Church. He previously served as the intern to the youth pastor at Tompkins Baptist Church. Dalton surrendered his life to ministry in early 2020. He is the drummer for the southern gospel group, The Kendricks. When asked where his love for playing began, he says, "I fell in love with music when my mom gave me my first drum kit at age 10. I quit playing music for about four years. When I started back, I started playing with my praise band at church and with another local band. The way that God has blessed me and used me is overwhelming. It blows my mind that God could use someone as broken as myself to reach others and serve Him through music and other ministries."
