Nathan Lewis

The son of a Jewish father, Nathan Lewis is a husband, father, and pastor with more than two decades of experience shaped by serving the Lord in Scotland and the USA. 

Moving to Edinburgh, Scotland, at 20 years old to study at the University of Edinburgh, Nathan helped start an Every Nation church in the center of the beautiful and secular city. What started as a short-term study program became a life-shaping calling. While completing a master of Arts in Divinity, he answered God’s call to full-time service and, upon graduation, became a pastor. 

As a missionary, Nathan was immersed in apologetics, youth and campus ministry, and cross-cultural mission work. In 2011, he was ordained and installed as the senior pastor of the church, leading it through seasons of growth and outreach, and eventually a transition to indigenous leadership. Nathan’s faith, leadership, and practical ecclesiology developed greatly in this secular, educated environment. Before leaving Scotland, he also earned a postgraduate certificate in Missions in an Urbanizing World from the University of Aberdeen. 

In 2017, Nathan moved to NYC, where he now lives and leads alongside his wife, Ailsa, and three children, Alexander (11), Eden (10), and Ester (4). 

He now serves as a senior pastor at Every Nation NYC, overseeing culture and vision as part of a collaborative preaching and leading team in the undisputed “greatest city in the world.” Nahtan is passionate about seeing the lost found, leaders developed, and new churches started, and has helped support and strengthen church-planting efforts across the Northeastern USA.
