Nick & Crystal Walters
Next Steps Pastor
Pastor Nick and Crystal have lived in the Youngstown, Ohio area since birth and have one son and one daughter. Both are graduates of Boardman High School. They oversee the next-gen ministries, which include Kids (birth through 8th grade) and High School (9th-12th grade), and Young Adults. Pastor Nick considered himself an atheist for a short time, and has since found the Bible to be the ultimate source of truth, resulting in a passion for apologetic ministry and helping those that are questioning their faith, specifically youth.
