Our Pastor

Nathan Rosentrater

     Nathan began pastoring Pine Creek Church in 2020. He married Nozomi in 2021, and together they welcomed God’s gift of their daughter Hannah a year later. A native of Bremen, IN, Nathan studied history of western thought at Augustine College (Ottawa, Canada), earned a B.A. in English from Messiah University, and completed an M.Div.

at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is licensed by the Brethren in Christ Church U.S. as a minister of the gospel.

     In ministry, Nathan enjoys discussing God’s word together with brothers and sisters, spurring each other on toward love and good deeds in small group settings, watching how God speaks and moves in the lives of His people, and encouraging believers of all ages to use their gifts, graces and abilities to build up the Church and share God’s blessing with not-yet believers.

     Aside from pastoral ministry, Nathan enjoys walks with Hannah and Nozomi, dabbling with musical instruments, extended-family get togethers, playing sports, and cooking.

Most life-impacting Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10.

A few favorite authors: John Donne, Dallas Willard, Richard Foster.
