Lead Pastor
Dr. Nathan Carden
"Jesus Christ of Nazareth was crucified, dead and buried and God raised him physically from the dead. By God's grace this story of death and resurrection is now our story too - in real life. Every day I get the chance to help others experience that hope, and I can't imagine being a part of anything better than that."
A native of Andalusia, AL, Nathan grew up in Alabama and Georgia as the son of a minister. He has served in churches in FL and TN prior to moving to the Birmingham area in 2010. He is married way out of his league to Kameron (Ph.D.), his girlfriend from high school who works as a Professor of Speech-Pathology at Samford University. They have three spirited children, J. Henry (16), Amelia (12) and Hanna (11). When not at work he can be found herding children, fishing, reading and building things.
Nathan Carden became the lead pastor of the Church at Ross Bridge in July 2017.
