Leadership

At ACC, we seek to be led, first and foremost, by Jesus, the head of the Church. We also recognize the need that the church has for local leadership by Godly men and women. We seek to follow the examples of church leadership found in the book of Acts and the prescriptions for leadership found in Paul’s epistles of 1 Timothy and Titus. We want you to get to know our leaders and they want to get to know you. They are all here to serve and minister to you.

Nate joined the staff at ACC in 2011 as the Associate Pastor of Youth and Worship, and shifted into the role of Lead Pastor in June 2019. He preaches each Sunday, leads worship and serves to shepherd the flock at ACC.

He has served churches in the area of youth ministry for 20+ years. Nate has been married to his wife Jodi since 1994, and they have 3 kids: Emma, Grace & Elijah.

Nate’s favorite verse is John 15:5:
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”
