Pastor Nik Schatz was saved at the age of 14 during a revival meeting at church. At the age of 17, he felt as if God was calling him to preach and began holding services in nursing homes and giving devotional speeches in his school and youth group. Shortly before leaving for college, he met the love of his life, Anna. The two graduated from Bible College and were married in December of 2009. Just before the new year, the two moved to Salem, Indiana, and began pastoring Christian Life Baptist Church. Nik was ordained June 6, 2010.
