Nik Harrang

Executive Pastor

My name is Nik and I serve as Executive Pastor. Some of my responsibilities include overseeing many of the ministry areas of the church, teaching some Sundays, and overseeing our discipleship path.

BASIC STUFF

My wife, Kristy, and I have been married since 2001. We have three children, Elise, Joel, & Erik. Kristy and I met at a campus ministry training school in Los Angeles in 2000, and this girl from Northern California and boy from Oregon fell in love! We love serving together in the church, and enjoy living in the great city of Seattle.
