Elder Steven Nash

Playwright, Youth Minister

 

Elder Nash is not only Youth Minister at First Tabernacle Community Church, he is also a talented playwright, poet and writer. Sons & Daughters is his fifth production and further builds on his desire to share the Gospel with young people in a fresh and engaging way. He founded the Acts of Faith Drama Club in 2000 and has produced crowd pleasing productions such as Dinner with Kelly, which explored the relationship between a successful young man and his mentally disabled childhood friend; Restoration, a play steeped in the story of the prodigal son with a contemporary twist; Job: A Monologue, a one-man play that took a stirring look at suffering and God's purpose being fulfilled in the believer.
