Hey! My name is Nate Bleecker, Trinity’s Youth Ministry Director and Technical Coordinator. I’ve been with Trinity Church since 2017, but my youth ministry calling actually started years before while working for a missions organization in Appalachia. I loved repairing homes and trying to meet some of the needs of the impoverished, but I found that I especially loved guiding groups of teenagers to do the same – helping them find purpose and community while being the hands and feet of Jesus. I believe that teens really need to belong to a loving community that accepts them for who they are now and supports them as they grow in Christ. I feel so blessed to continue my calling here at Trinity Church, a place that definitely invests in its youth. I’m married to my beautiful, patient wife, Lauren, who has put up with me since 2018. We have a black lab, River, who has put up with both of us since 2019. My hobbies include writing and recording music, frisbee golf, and beating anyone at Jenga.
