RESUME AND PORTFOLIO

The Rev. Nate Bostian lives in Dallas Texas with his wife Kim, and three children: Elise, Taggart, and Vera. Since 2021, Fr. Nate has been the senior chaplain at The Episcopal School of Dallas. From 2010-2021, he served as head chaplain at TMI - The Episcopal School of Texas. Prior to that, he was Episcopal Chaplain at Southern Methodist University and director of young adult ministry at Saint Michael and All Angels in Dallas.

Fr. Nate is a veteran of a decade of parish ministry with families, youth, and young adults, as well as nearly seven years as a Social Worker, ministering primarily to runaway and abused children. He received his Master's of Divinity from Perkins School of Theology in 2008, and his Bachelor's degree in history from Texas A&M in 1996. Nate's research passions include the intersection of spirituality and science, as well as the relationship between Christianity and world religions, along with examining the philosophical and ethical underpinnings of our culture and worldview. When not reading theology or philosophy, Nate enjoys hiking, lifting weights, good coffee, science fiction, and absurdist humor. You can contact Fr. Nate or view his blog at natebostian.blogspot.com.

Fr. Nate's rule of life and ministry philosophy can be summarized by his daily prayer to remember the great commandments of Jesus Christ: LORD of Love, draw us to you, to be loved, and love through you (cf. Matthew 22.37-40). If what we are doing isn't doing this, we must do something else. It is that simple, and that difficult. A more extensive collection of Fr. Nate's ministry philosophy and rule of life can be found here.
