NICK ERTZ

Pastor Nick has been in vocational ministry since 2017 following a career in real estate and finance. Nick and his wife, Leiah, are parents and coparents to three girls. Nick finds great joy in helping others find deeper connection with God and with one another, and is a strong believer that we are called to go out into the community and to the "ends of the earth" to serve and love others in Jesus' name. North Ridge has sent Nick and Leiah out to plant a church in east Madison.
