Nate Aakre

Nathan grew up on a farm in NW Minnesota, where hard work and faith shaped his life. After college at Valley City State, he moved to Fargo with no real plan—just a willingness to see where God would lead. Turns out, he met his future wife, Brittany, built lasting friendships, and now has four kids!



A coach at heart, he loves investing in others—whether it’s coaching his kids in sports or encouraging others in their faith. His greatest passion? Helping others experience the joy and assurance that come from faith in Jesus. With his love for connecting with people, you might find him in a pickup basketball game, catching up with a friend, or—if you ask nicely—finding you a dusty CD from his old rock band days.
