By Nathan Partain. Nathan moved to Nashville, TN as a baby, and grew up in a home and community that fostered a rich appreciation of art, music and biblical teaching. In junior high, he and a few good friends started writing songs together and formed a band whose music sounded similar to the newly emerging grunge genre. The band grew in popularity in the greater Nashville area and while in college, landed a short-lived record deal with a record label. A year later, the band broke up and Nathan, who had become recommitted to his Christian faith, decided to travel around Europe and returned home with a renewed appreciation for the time and place in which God had placed him. In the summer of 1999, feeling led to move to Seattle, he packed up his old car and while heading west, stayed with his uncle who confessed to praying that Nathan would write Christian music. Nathan's reply that he didn't really want to but would follow the Lord anywhere, was foreshadowing to the direction God was leading him, and he would begin writing music for the church not long after moving to Seattle. Nathan found and joined Green Lake Presbyterian Church (GLPC) a few months later and began playing hand drums with the music team. He also began to rewrite music for old hymns, and which were sometimes sung on Sunday mornings. It was also there that he grew in friendship with Assistant Pastor (and watercolor artist) Jason Dorsey, who encouraged Nathan to keep writing music both for the church and beyond.In the summer of 2001, in addition to working at an auto shop and before marrying his wife, Sarah, he recorded demos for a record of a group of songs that told the story of Nathan's faith journey. He and Sarah later formed a band with a few other friends and were invited to play at IMAF in Indy, as well as around the Seattle area for a few years, before disbanding. He continued to work full-time at High Road Automotive and also joined the staff at GLPC part-time, as the Chief Musician/assistant worship director Following their first child's birth in 2006, Nathan was working many hours at the auto shop as a service advisor but was desiring to do more music. He and Sarah began praying for a job as a full-time musician and after reaching out for additional prayer to the Dorseys, (who were now in Indy at Redeemer Presbyterian Church), they learned there would be a opening for the full-time music director job, later that year. They had visited Indy and Redeemer a few times since the Dorseys had moved there and knew that the church and community was very similar to GLPC. Nathan applied for the job but moving away from Seattle was not the provision they had expected and they were very sad at the thought of leaving. Still, they felt like God was leading them to go, so in August '07, after accepting the position at the church, Nathan, Sarah and baby Amos moved to downtown Indy, and have been happily there ever since. Over the years, Redeemer and its unique encouragement of the arts and creatives of all types, has been a place where Nathan's pastoral and artistic gifts have been affirmed and encouraged. In addition to writing many of the liturgical components used in weekly and special worship services, the support from the leadership and community there has given Nathan time and space to continue to lean into his calling of writing and recording "musical prayers". In writing from and for the specific community at Redeemer, he has continued to create songs that blend theologically rich texts with singable melodies. Nathan and Sarah (along with Amos and their Hoosier kiddos Flannery and Levi) have called the Holy Cross neighborhood their home for the last seven of their thirteen years in Indianapolis. With Arsenal Tech right down the street, it is a joy to support this documentary and the many stories it brings to light.
