Nan Nelson
Rev. Nan Nelson is a retired elder in full connection with the United Methodist Church. Nan has experienced teaching and preaching about living our United Methodist beliefs through serving as a mentor of clergy and of candidates for ministry, as a circuit elder, and as a member of the District Committee on Ordained Ministry. She was district director of Lay Servant Ministry (LSM) and taught LSM courses in her district before joining BeADisciple. Nan also taught effective communication for more than a decade at the college level.
Nan continues to support LSM in her conference. She understands the connection not only between churches, but also the connections between pastor and congregation and the special connections churches have with their communities. She believes that churches in concert with caring communities spread God’s love and grace.
