Nate & Avril Wright
Hey Peeps! I'm Pastor Nate, serving as youth pastor at Emmanuel Baptist in Bloomfield. Growing up in Hamilton, I studied Ministry at Redeemer University and have been deeply shaped by years of involvement in camp ministry. Fun fact, due to my parents involvement in camp ministry, I was on an Algonquin canoe trip for a leadership development camp before my first birthday. I've never left the camp world since.
Outside of ministry, I love hockey (dedicated Leafs fan), spikeball, weightlifting, cooking, and gathering with friends around a campfire. Growing up in the city, I have come to love country living and have loved my first year in the County. My fiancée, Avril, and I are getting married in June 2026 and thrilled to start life and ministry together.
Heyyy!!! My name is Avril (like April with a "v"... and no it's not Vapril). I am a mobilizer for an organization that sends Christian teachers overseas and am invested in the ministries of youth and young adults! God touches me a ton through music and occasionally inspires me to write songs about what He is teaching me. Other hobbies include spending time with Nate and friends/family, playing any sport, annoying people with puns, making/drinking coffee, and cooking/baking. Excited to get to know you all and worship with you:)!
