Rev. Nick Braunschneider
Rector (Lead Pastor)

Nick came to Church of the Apostles in December in 2019. As Rector, Nick is the lead pastor and priest in charge of our church, guiding our congregation through his preaching, teaching, and spiritual oversight.

Nick was born in the North, and raised in the South. He has served in pastoral ministry for over 20 years — in large churches and small ones, both traditional and modern — and in a variety of roles. He has experience in several denominations, as well as working with the Christian para-church organization Young Life.

Nick holds degrees from Barry University (B.S. in Psychology), Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.A. in Biblical Counseling; M.Div. in North American Church Planting), and a Graduate Certificate in Anglican Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. 

In 2002, Nick married his high school sweetheart, Kimberly. They are blessed with six precious children, and are active in the Fairfax homeschool community.
