Peter Nelson
Deacon
Peter grew up in rural Nebraska, the son of a Baptist preacher. At an early age Peter responded to the truth of the gospel, recognizing his need for God through the saving work of Jesus on the cross. At age 11 his family moved to the Chicago suburbs.
After high school Peter spent six years in Champaign studying engineering. Between degrees, Peter married his beautiful wife, Lindsey. After a four-month mission trip to Jinja, Uganda, Peter took a job at WJE in Northbrook, working as a structural engineer. Peter gets to spend his days fixing old buildings and hanging from skyscrapers downtown Chicago.
Peter and Lindsey have five energetic children: Caleb (15), Adalie (13), Elijah (10), Daniel (9), and Brielle (4). The Nelsons have been attending The Orchard North Shore since August 2021. Peter loves serving with his wife on the worship team.
To glorify God by growing in faith, hope, and love, through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
