Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Nicole received a B.A. in French from Davidson College in North Carolina. Nicole’s plans were to teach high school French, but God had other plans. Following graduation from Davidson, she served in youth ministry for eight years with Young Life and with two Presbyterian churches. While Director of Youth Ministries at First Presbyterian Church of Norfolk, Virginia, Nicole had the privilege of being involved in a variety of ministries in addition to youth ministry. Through these experiences, God grew Nicole’s heart from a heart for youth to a heart for all of God’s people, and she discerned God’s call to seminary and to ordained ministry. Nicole graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2007. In January 2009, she was ordained and began serving her first ordained call as Associate Pastor for Adult Discipleship at Westminster. Nicole loves helping people connect to Christ and to one another, especially through small groups. She has been involved with small groups for over twelve years. Nicole also has a heart for the missional church and enjoys equipping people to join in Christ's mission by sharing His love in word and deed in our own backyards and to the ends of the earth. Nicole is married to James Lock, who works with treasury services for J.P. Morgan. Together, they enjoy traveling, watching movies, reading, and playing with their two cats. Nicole is also an avid fan of ACC basketball. In addition, she enjoys running. She has run two half-marathons and hopes to run a third this year. |
