About the Pastor
Pastor Nick accepted the call to Shepherd at BVCC in December of 2021. Nick comes with a heart for discipleship and a passion for teaching. He seeks to see Christians walk deeply in their faith while building strong bonds of community to better reach the lost around them. He previously has served at First Baptist of Independence, where he established a youth discipleship program for those that wanted more than the normal youth group experience. He then served as the Associate Pastor for Union Baptist Church in Union Oregon, where he gained valuable pulpit experience while spending time overseeing youth curriculum, planning outreach events, and encouraging and counseling the flock.
Nick and his wife Greta have been married since 2015 and have been blessed with three sons; Judson, Ezra, and Peter. They have both enjoyed the wonderful season of growth here at BVCC, and look forward to seeing how God will continue to build His Kingdom in our rural community.
When not serving the flock, Nick can usually be found enjoying an audiobook or podcast, wrangling his three sons, or chasing livestock.
“Have I not commanded you? Be Strong and Courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
