Steve Berti
Lead Pastor
Pastor Steve Berti answered the call to full ministry to the Eureka first Church of the Nazarene after many years as a lay leader on July 2001. His call to Children and Youth ministry evolved into ministering to the whole church. He was ordained by the Church of the Nazarene in 2010 and became the Senior Pastor in 2016. Steve’s passion for the church is to connect with God and others as we pray, disciple, and serve together.

Nicole grew up attending the Eureka First Church of the Nazarene. She became a member of the church in high school. She has been in many different  ministries  within the church over the years. Her heart is for everyone to know that Jesus loves them and for everyone to receive the freedom that comes with knowing Jesus as their personal Savior.

He has a business administration degree from Humboldt State University. He has recently retired from thirty years as an elementary school teacher.

"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes - I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!"
Job 19:25-27
