Meet Our Staff

Nathan Heller, Senior Pastor

Nathan is our Senior Pastor at the church and became the newest member of our staff at Superstition Foothills upon his arrival on January, 2012. Bro. Nathan grew up in a Southern Baptist, Christian home and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior at the age of nine. He married his wife, Sharon, shortly after High School and they have been married for 34 years.

For twenty-three years he worked for a local utility company and during that time, he felt God's call into ministry. Throughout his secular occupation, the Lord led Nathan to serve in many areas of the local church, such as Sunday School teacher, Children and Youth ministries, a new church start and much more! He saw this time as a time of preparation for future ministry. Over the years, God provided many opportunities for him to preach and teach and, finally, in 1998 Nathan accepted God's call and was licensed into the gospel ministry of Jesus Christ. After his ordination in 2001 he entered into the ministry full time.

Pastor Heller received his Bachelor's Degree in Christian Education in May 2007 and desires to continue his education toward a Master of Theology Degree in the future. He feels this will set example to lay people serving as teachers and in leadership positions to continue to improve themselves as well as an opportunity for him to be spiritually fed.

Nathan and his wife, Sharon, have two grown children, Stephanie and Matthew, and three grandchildren, Tyler, Ezra and Macy.

Doug Stevens, Worship Pastor
