Dean E. Nale

I have many wonderful memories of being in Dean and Mary's house in the beginning years of my Christian walk in the mid-70's .Their home became my home, and I had many thought-provoking discussions sitting in the kitchen around their table.He was never too busy to take time to discuss questions or concerns, his door was always open.
I learned and grew in my knowledge of the Bible because of his faithfullness to preach/teach the Scriptures accurately.Because of his influence,our family...

Pastor and Mary Nale were a blessing to our family when we lived in Pittsburgh. We learned and grew under his faithful preaching of the Word, and he baptized our daughter Kristen. It is a joy to think of Pastor and Mary enjoying their heavenly rewards!

For better than a dozen years it was my priviledge to work with Pastors all over the United States. Dr. Dean Nale was one of the best at being what a pastor ought to be.

Gerald & I have grown much under the ministry of Pastor Nale. I have so many wonderful notes and outlines in my Bible that Gerald calls it the "Dean Nale Study Bible"!

Faithfulness strongly comes to mind to describe a man who was diligent to preach the Word, in and out of season. Only heaven knows how many people were influenced by Pastor Nale's love for the Scriptures.

I was greatly blessed to sit under the influence of Dean's ministry during the early-mid 1970's. Susan was saved in 1977 in Dean & Mary's livingroom during a College & Career Bible Study. Dean married us in 1982, and was very instrumental in my pursuit of a seminary degree and...

Pastor Nale was an excellent Bible teacher and Ann and I learned much under his shepherding. He loved his Lord and loved his congregation. A great example of a godly man.

Pastor Nale was a man of integrity,
a diligent student/teacher of the
Word,and a great encouragement to
me as I have had the awesome challenge to continue what he began
here in the early days of Northgate.

I grew up in Northgate Bible Baptist Church during the 1970's, and Pastor Nale was instrumental in my early spiritual formation. His wife Mary led me to the Lord in Sunday School. Their ministry has had an eternal impact.

With Warm memories of a choice servant of the Lord and a rich fellowship at Northgate.

Ah, at last, an entrance to the city above. The fond embrace of His eternal, abiding love. With Him in view, my tongue could never tell, though faith has witnessed the dark dispel. Wonderful! Savior! Redeemer and Friend! The song that time began, now has no end.
