Nick Gardner loves people, laughter, and a good meal shared around the table. A native of College Station, Texas, who spent much of his childhood and young adult years in Memphis, Tennessee, Nick brings warmth and humor to just about everything he does.

He’s passionate about healthy leadership, helping people find freedom in Jesus, and asking the kind of questions that lead to real growth and transformation.

Nick especially loves pouring into the college students that fill BCS—hosting them in his home, cooking for them, and walking with them through the ups and downs of life and faith. He also enjoys working out, laughing hard, and finding the balance between depth and joy in everyday life.

Nick serves as the Lead Pastor at Citizens Church in Bryan/College Station, where he lives with his wife, Kathryn, and their son, Josiah.
