Nate Claggett
Stafford, Virginia, United States
Having spent two years prior as a Pastoral Assistant, Nate Claggett was ordained to full-time gospel ministry as an elder in December 2013 and began serving Stafford Baptist Church as Associate Pastor in January 2014.
He grew up a pastor's kid in New England and knew early on that He would pursue ministry. In 2009 he completed his studies at Baptist Bible College of PA and married his high school sweetheart, Laura. Together, they returned home to New Hampshire ("the six-oh-three") where Nate worked part-time at The Home Depot and served as a pastoral intern at WLBC while Laura worked in the public school system and catering services. On Christmas Eve, 2013, they welcomed their daughter Kately Elizabeth into their family.
Nate loves being a family man, a church member, and a friend. Additionally, he enjoys strong coffee, making music (guitar, percussion, voice), playing sports (especially baseball, basketball or frisbee), spending time with his dog, and reading. All of those are much better with other people, too! (Except, maybe, the reading one.)
