Nate Phillips

Senior Pastor of Red Clay Creek

Nate Phillips (Pastor Nate) grew up in the hills of central Maine, the son of a logger and wedding dress seamstress.  He was shaped by the church through Mission at the Eastward (MATE) – a nine church cooperative parish in rural Maine.  Though each of the churches is very small, he enjoyed the fruits of their cooperation at the summer camp, partnership with churches in South Africa, housing ministries, and a youth group.

Following seminary at Princeton Theological, Nate was ordained and called to serve Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church in 2006. As associate pastor and then co-pastor, Nate led primarily in youth ministry and mission, but also served through preaching, worship design, small group facilitation, pastoral care, and staff leadership.
