Rev. Nathan Schmidt

I, Nathan Erich Schmidt, first of his name, am a missionary to First Nations, member of Christ the Vine Lutheran, protector of Bock and Kölsh (my cats), and a servant for God and others.

I live in a town called Estacada, Oregon on the foothills of Mt.Hood.

I am a Seattle Mariners fan, and I enjoy and love have been taught a lot of patience and how to deal with disappointments. Thankfully, the Seattle Seahawks are starting to play.

I prefer to sleep on my right side.

I am a graduate of Concordia Portland (1996) DCE, and the Classic KINDLE (2009), CMC (pending 2025)

ANNOUNCEMENT OF ORDINATION & INSTALLATION – With thanksgiving to God, we, the congregation of Christ the Vine Lutheran Church joyfully announce the ordination of Nathan Schmidt into the Office of the Holy Ministry on Sunday, August 31, 2025. Immediately afterwards, Pastor Schmidt was installed as Missionary Pastor with LAMP (Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots), where he will continue to serve in bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to remote First Nations communities across Canada, that the Word of Christ may be proclaimed faithfully and the love of God be made known to all.
