Nate Marialke serves as the worship pastor here at Rochester First Assembly of God. After a life-changing encounter with the love of God through Jesus Christ in 1997, Nate has been on a pursuit of God’s heart through music and worship. Since that day, he has never looked back. After completing 2 Christian pop albums, his most recent venture is a live worship project entitled “Heaven’s Hero Live”. His passion for revealing the nature and character of Jesus to the body of Christ and the world through original worship music is as strong as ever. Combined with his unique talent for songwriting, his intimate pursuit of the presence of God, and his desire to cultivate and grow in relationships with those around him leads to passionate, unconventional lyrics and unforgettable experiences. His pursuits have taken him across America and even to Europe. From leading worship at Church Conferences across the USA to helping establish powerful praise and intimate worship in the German and Swedish church, Nate is committed to helping people experience a powerful encounter with the living God.
