PASTOR NATHAN HITZ

God is worthy of all praise for His fashioning hand in my life. Under the influence of my parents and because of faithful atten­dance to church, God opened my heart to recog­nize my need for salva­tion at a young age. Later, around age 11, I responded to a camp sermon to serve God with my life as He would see fit, including full-time voca­tional ministry.

I majored in Biblical Studies and minored in Music during my college years. While pursuing my degree, I served in a local church ministry where I met my future wife, Elaine. She was an Education major who grew up wherever the Air Force sent her family. We married shortly after graduation and spent some time in my Pennsylvania hometown before moving to Minne­sota to attend Central Baptist Theological Seminary. I later graduated with a Masters of Divinity degree and have completed classes for a Masters of Theology. God has blessed us with four children along the way.

Since 2008, my family and I have been delighted to serve together with the people who make up Blaine Baptist Church. We sharpen each other and look forward to how God will grow us in the years to come.

We uphold our deacons and treasurer, along with each church member, in prayer as they fulfill their servant roles for the sake of the body and for the glory of God.
