Our Pastor

Pastor Nathanael Jensen is a 2015 graduate of Martin Luther College, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree with an emphasis in biblical languages, and a 2019 graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, where he received his Masters of Divinity. He also has three years of previous ministry experience in Reno, Nevada, and Saginaw, Michigan. Pastor Jensen began serving at Cross of Christ in August of 2021, and is so happy to call Las Cruces his home and this congregation his family.

Pastor Jensen can't wait to get married to Elena Mueller this June and to have her join him in Las Cruces. Elena currently teaches Spanish at one of our church body's high schools in Michigan.

Pastor Jensen enjoys anything that includes physical activity, music, or getting to know people. But most of all, he enjoys sharing the saving message of Jesus Christ. Give him a call or send him a text or email. He would love to treat you to lunch or a coffee or a beer in order to get to know you and to help you get to know Christ better!
