Pastor Nathan and Family

Pastor Nathan Keisler

Pastor

Pastor Nathan found his way to Boulder Junction in Aug, 2022 after traversing the world with his family for 10 years (mostly in Africa). His joy is his beautiful wife Nicole and 4 children (ages 5-17). His background in engineering and project management, and his passion to see lives transformed, has led him to over 35 countries. His mission is for everyone to experience God in a fresh way, whether that is through the music he shares or the engaging stories he brings on real and relevant issues during sermons on Sunday or in a conversation about your dreams. He is a dream manager and coach and an aspiring author. When not cruising on his Harley bike, he prefers the adventure race or bike ride with his family. He is passionate about communicating with compassion, clarity, and inspirational energy in order to build community and real life.
