He is part of the ministerial team at New Bethel AME Church in Lithonia, Ga., and is a candidate for ordination in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Using interdisciplinary approaches, Nick seeks to identify and think through liturgical and imaginative theological strategies that overwhelm white supremacy and whiteness as the normative standard. Nick is married to the lovely NaKisha C. Peterson (neé Jackson) and is the father of twin boys, Zayden and Zander.
