Rev. Nikki Brown Rice

Associate Pastor

Pastor Nikki is kind of a goof but she loves life and her faith. She is married to Aaron Rice, who looked a lot like Chris Pratt before he decided to cut all his hair off :) They have two beautiful children, Luci and Caleb. Luci is wild and full of questions and Caleb is a hug personified. Delilah is their pup and she is all play and kisses. Pastor Nikki is originally from Pendleton, Indiana, but has lived in Cincinnati, Ohio and Durham, North Carolina. She graduated from Indiana Wesleyan with a degree in Christian Ministries and Biblical Literature, and holds a master’s degree from Duke Divinity School. Pastor Nikki's heart beats to let people know about the love of God and the invitation God extends to us to build the kingdom here on earth. She is passionate about grace and justice and loves seeing people grow in their relationships to love God, themselves, and others more fully. She loves reading, being outdoors, all kinds of sports (Go Bengals!), and The Office. She would enjoy getting to know you by sitting down to chat with whatever beverage you enjoy.
