Matthew 26:36-46
Every tragedy that a person faces is considered the worst because it is personal and the pain from that event is real and lingering. It is hard to even compare one catastrophe from one another since they all have residual effects on our lives in unique ways. But consider the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and how the sinless Son of God took on the punishment for sinful men in order to satisfy the divine justice of God. Hopefully we can agree from a careful study of Scripture that Jesus of Nazareth suffered more than any other human in human existence. In Matthew 26: 36-46, we get a glimpse into his agony of the cross in the garden of Gethsemane was willfully endured out of love for God’s people.

Nathan Pellegra
Nathan lived much of his early teenage years thinking his eternal destiny was secured in heaven. After facing the gripping truth that "a good tree bears good fruit" he realized he did not have an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. It was in college that the Holy Spirit revealed the depth of Nathan's sin and he fully trusted in the atoning work of Christ for his salvation from the condemnation of God. Upon receiving new life in Christ, he began growing in his understanding of the Scriptures and he faithfully served his church body. This led to a desire to further his education in seminary and serve the church in gospel ministry. He earned his Masters of Divinity degree at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary and he finds his greatest joys in preaching God's word to the people that have been entrusted to his care.
Before his responsibility as Pastor, Nathan strives to lead his wife and children in a biblical way. He is married to his incredible wife Amy and they are graciously blessed with five children: Molly, Grace Ann, Lily, Peter and Mila.
