Meet the staff team
Nate Wright
Senior Pastor
Nathanael and his wife Colleen came to pastor Crossroads in August of 2013. Nate graduated from the University of the Western Ontario with a degree in English Literature and received his pastoral training from Emmanuel Bible College. He spent five years in youth ministry before participating in a two year apprenticeship program at West London Alliance church under the tutelage of Rev. Mike Wilkins.
Nate loves to teach the word of God and has been influenced by the writings of theologians Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, John Owen and Thomas Watson. His passion is to see God’s people take their responsibility to study scripture, to make disciples of all nations and to serve others seriously. He spends most of his free time participating in sports and "hanging out with dead guys" (which is his way of saying reading Puritan authors).
