Meet our Vicar Vicar Nathaniel Adkins
Nathaniel Adkins comes to St. Peter’s after two years of study at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa. Before coming to Wartburg, he spent ten years as an elementary classroom teacher in Southwest Iowa. He’s also spent time working as a substitute teacher and paraeducator, along with stints in retail, pizza delivery, childcare, facilities maintenance, direct care for people with intellectual disabilities, postal work, and asphalt repair.
Along with his theological studies, Nathaniel centers much of his time around the care and feeding of his family. He has been good friends with his wife, Amber, since high school in Knoxville, Iowa. As of September 2021, they will have been married for fifteen years. They have two delightful children (ask Nathaniel to introduce you to them!), who will both be attending elementary school in the Loganville area during Nathaniel’s internship year.
When he has the time, Nathaniel enjoys reading, birding, acting in community theatre productions, riding bikes, and writing. (He’s 115,000 words into his first novel and is also working on a jukebox musical based on the songs of They Might Be Giants.)
Nathaniel is excited to spend his internship year with the people of St. Peter’s and continue to learn how to most effectively live into his sense of God’s call as an ordained minister.
