NATHAN HIATT

Associate Pastor of Worship and Ministry Development

Nathan grew up in the Des Moines area and graduated with his BA in Bible from Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL in 2011. He began attending Westkirk in 2015 and became a member shortly thereafter. With the encouragement of the church, he entered seminary in 2017 and earned his MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, PA in May 2021. Nathan joined Westkirk’s staff as an Assistant Pastor in 2021 and became an Associate Pastor in 2023. His primary goal is to help lead Westkirk in biblical and Reformed worship and has a desire to see this worship flourish in the homes of all our families.

He met and married his wife, Jessica while both attending seminary. They were married on January 11, 2020. Jessica is originally from the Bay Area in Northern California. She received her undergraduate degree from Reformation Bible College and Masters from Westminster Theological Seminary. Jessica is active with the women’s ministry at Westkirk and is passionate about biblical counseling and missions.

They welcomed their daughter, Winnie June, in January of 2022 and their son, Silas James, in November of 2023!

Nathan enjoys watching sports (Arsenal, Baltimore Orioles, and Iowa State), reading, playing golf, and spending time with friends and family. Jess enjoys art (has worked in graphic design), music, and exploring God's creation. Together, they love spending time outside with Winnie and Silas.
