Our Leadership

Pastor & Elder

Nick has served as a pastor at Neighborhood Church since 2021. Prior to that, he spent 15 years in campus ministry in Boston and NYC working with undergrad and graduate students. He did his training at Bethel Seminary and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He has the great privilege and joy to be married to Helen, and to be the father of Tyquawn and Ernest. They love to call Queens home. In his spare time, you can probably find Nick at a local coffee shop with his nose in a book, or exploring the marvelous food scene in New York with Helen.  

Director of Discipleship & Spiritual Formation

Linnette, a native New Yorker, joined the leadership team in January 2025 and is excited to serve the NCGV church family. She holds a Bachelor of Music from NYU and a Master’s in Urban Ministry from Alliance Theological Seminary. Before coming to NCGV, she served as Assistant Director of women’s and young adult ministries at the Brooklyn Tabernacle and toured internationally with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. When she’s not ministering, she enjoys a great cup of hot chocolate, belly laughs with friends, and Latin dance classes. 

Elder

Trevor works with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's Grad & Faculty Ministry at NYU and with the Veritas Forum. Throughout his nearly 20 years of campus ministry experience he enjoyed helping people to engage with God both intellectually and emotionally. Trevor and his wife, Grace, live in Brooklyn. He grew up in Seattle, the city that had the lowest church attendance among all cities in the country.  He believes this shaped his faith positively and prepared him to minister in a place like NYC.  He enjoys running, hiking and other outdoor activities.
