Nathan LeRud appointed Canon for Spiritual Formation
A fourth-generation Oregonian, Nathan holds degrees from Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA and the General Theological Seminary in New York City. He served parishes in Washington, New York, and New Jersey before coming to Trinity in 2009 to work with children and youth ministries. In 2011, Nathan was appointed Canon for Spiritual Formation, which includes oversight of Trinity’s Adult Education programming as well as the Center for Spiritual Development. Nathan’s background is in theatre and music; he can often be found down the street at Coffeehouse NW, and can usually be coerced into taking an afternoon off to go for a long ramble somewhere in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
