Vicar Nathan Bublitz is from the small town of Fairgrove near Frankenmuth, Michigan. He went to church and school in Reese, Michigan through high school, and graduated college from Central Michigan University with a B.A. (majored in history) in 2021. While at Central Michigan University he became involved with the Lutheran student organization (LCMSU) on campus and served as president for two years. He went on to pursue a masters degree at Michigan State University. After completing a year at Michigan State he decided to resign from the masters program and began working for an industrial company near Mt. Pleasant, MI. During this time he also decided to attend Concordia Seminary, St. Louis in hopes of becoming a pastor. He started “Summer Greek” in June 2023 and spent two years completing seminary classes, field work education at Trinity Lutheran Church in Millstadt, IL, and many other responsibilities, before starting his vicarage year here at Hanover Lutheran Church.
While at the seminary, Vicar Bublitz met his now wife Rachel. They were introduced to each other through a mutual friend at the seminary, and they were married on June 14, 2025. They are excited to start their married life together with the family of God here at Hanover Lutheran Church.
Vicar Bublitz is looking forward to learning from Rev. Benkendorf and Hanover Lutheran over the next year as he continues his education and training to become a pastor, and he is grateful for the opportunities God has given him here.
