Senior, Youth and Pastoral Ministry
Hi, I'm Nathan, and I serve as the Programming Executive for Fusion. Fusion has been a meaningful part of my journey since high school. It's where I first experienced the presence of God in a powerful way and found a community that helped shape my faith. I'm grateful now to help create that same kind of space for others, where students can grow, connect, and encounter God in life-changing ways.
