EP 33: Leading a Bi-Vocational Ministry in Northern Ontario During Covid – Nate Hochstetler

In Church Life, Podcast, Stories by Nate Hochstetler

When we think of Men’s Ministry we often think of a weekly program at our Church. Nate Hochstetler is a pastor and entrepreneur in Sioux Lookout, Ontario (about 4.5 hours northwest of Thunder Bay) and shares how men’s ministry in his context looks a little different.

Nate is Married forty years, 6 kids, and 9 grandkids.  He was born and raised on a dairy farm in Indiana, but as of August, has lived in Sioux Lookout for 30 years where he serves as bi-vocational lead pastor, coffee roaster, real estate agent. 

In this episode, Nate talks about his involvement in his local community and also how he handled being hospitalized with Covid-19 this past year and how his Christian community helped him persevere.
