About Our Speakers:

Pastor Nate Preisinger (or you can just call him Nate) earned his Bachelor’s Degree at St. Olaf College and received his Master of Divinity and a Certificate in Theological Education for Emerging Ministries at Wartburg Seminary. Since then, Nate has spent time as the mission developer of a young adult ministry in Buffalo, NY (Go Bills!), as the Director of Admissions at United Lutheran Seminary in Philadelphia (Yum Cheesesteaks!), and as the pastor of churches in Buffalo, Philadelphia, and now at Bethany Lutheran Church in Denver (Hooray Lutherans!).

Nate is married to Amanda and they have three children, Evelyn (13), Solomon (10), and Miriam (7). Together they have fun creating and playing board games, hiking around Colorado, visiting the library, and doing science experiments. Additionally, Nate enjoys listening to music, running on the High Line Canal, reading multiple books simultaneously, practicing and teaching yoga, and watching or playing basketball.

Colleen Maki (they/them) is committed to bringing about the beloved community and seeks to cultivate spaces of creativity and connection. Colleen grew up in northern Minnesota and spent time canoe guiding in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). They enjoy spending time outdoors in God’s creation and fall is their favorite season. Colleen likes to weave, paint, collage, and journal as ways to connect to the Divine and the Holy Spirit. On the weekends you can find them at the coffee shop or thrifting for secondhand finds. They live in Denver with their partner Nick and dog Ella. Colleen holds a Masters of Divinity from Vanderbilt Divinity School and is the leader of Gather: Denver, an ecumenical Young Adult Ministry.
