Brad Nelson
Hi, I'm Brad Nelson and I am the Senior Pastor of Princeton Bible Church. As the senior pastor my primary responsibilities include setting the vision for the church, providing leadership for the amazing staff and volunteers in our ministry, and helping people connected with our ministry to experience life transformation by living out the simple truth of loving God, loving people and serving others.
BASIC STUFF:
My wife, Kerrie, and I moved to New Jersey in the spring of 1995 to serve as the Associate Pastor of the church. We were both born and raised in Missouri (I'm from the suburbs of Kansas City and Kerrie is from the suburbs of St. Louis). Kerrie and I met in college - she loved me from the first time she saw me! We married just a few months after graduating from college and lived the first four years of our marriage in Kansas City. Now we are proud to make our home in Central New Jersey with our two children, Drew and Abby.
