Nathan Carter
Nathan Carter grew up in rural Indiana, but since 2004 he has been a pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in the city of Chicago. He went to Wheaton College for undergrad and also received a Master’s degree from there in Biblical Exegesis. He is currently studying towards another MA in Urban Ministry from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In 2010 he helped to start GOSPEL for Chicago, a church-based collaborative effort to train more pastors for a movement of church planting in Chicago. Nathan and Andrea have been married for over 15 years and together they have 5 daughters (plus a dog, a cat, and two fish). Nathan's deep passion is to see the God of the gospel glorified through his Word being learned, loved, and lived in the city.
