Meet the newest GFA church-planter couple, Rev. Nathan and Katrina Bate. The Bates are looking forward to planting an independent fundamental church in Roseville, CA, which is in the Sacramento area. Their sending church is Bible Baptist Church, Wakarusa, IN. Nathan has been involved in the pastoral staff ministry at both Bible Baptist and Faith Baptist Church, Greenville, SC.  He is a 2004 graduate of BJU and Katrina is a 2003 graduate of PCC. They have two children, Kaylee and Jonathan.

The Bates will be living in Indiana while they are on deputation to raise the remainder of their needed 3-5 year financial support. They hope to begin planting their church in 2011 or early 2012. You or your church can have the exciting opportunity to be a financial and prayer partner with this sharp young couple and help to plant a much needed church in northern California. You can follow their progress, schedule a meeting, or get donation and other interesting information at their website www.californiachurchplanting.com.
