3.4. Churchwide Representative

Nick Kiger

Nick Kiger is the Director for Mission Support with the ELCA churchwide expression. Nick lives and works in Columbus, OH where he is a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. He is married to Misty and they have a ten year old daughter, Kara and a six year old son, Cameron. Nick received his Bachelor of Arts in religious studies from Otterbein University and his Master of Theological Studies degree from Methodist Theological School in Ohio. Nick feels blessed to get to experience the many different settings of the church. His work has taken him to oil fields, prisons, Native American reservations, store front churches, Latine congregations in the deep south and rural congregations in the Midwest. In all these places he has heard the stories of this church, the stories of how the generosity of all expressions of the ELCA (congregations, synods and the churchwide organization), through Mission Support, have made an impact on the ministries we engage in together. Outside of work Nick is an avid trail and ultrarunner, enjoys travel and playing bass guitar.
