Nathan

Nathan Lonsdale Bledsoe loves Jesus, his wife Sarah, their son Ollie, their two dogs, cooking, hunting, the city of Houston, trying new restaurants, and a lot of things he cannot fit in a short bio.

Nathan grew up in Austin before moving to Houston to attend Rice University. After graduating, Nathan worked at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church before attending Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. While at Union, he served at the United Methodist Church of the Village, helped run a soup kitchen, and wrote a thesis project on theology and food. He believes when people gather to share a meal, Jesus Christ shows up (John 21). If he’s not in his office, he’s probably hanging out in a restaurant or at Great Heights Brewing with a nitro cold brew coffee or…something else.

Nathan served as the pastor of missions and evangelism at St. Peter’s UMC in Katy from 2013-2017. He currently serves as the chair of the Texas Annual Conference Church and Society Committee, on the District Congregational Excellence Committee, on the Alumni Council at Union, and on the board of the Foster Family YMCA here in the neighborhood!
