Nick, a third-generation pastor, began his ministry work at the East Hills Alliance Church in Kelso, Washington. He served here as head pastor for more than 10 years. During this time, Nick closely observed the sexual brokenness and devastation in the congregation – and recognized like never before the power of grace in the Church…
