The Rev. Nathan Leach

Nathan grew up in the Boston area, where his mother was a Presbyterian minister. His first exposure to The Episcopal Church was at St. John’s while he was a student at Williams College. Graduating in 2017, with majors in English and Religion, Nathan went on to Yale Divinity School and was confirmed as an Episcopalian in 2022. In 2023, he received a Master’s of Divinity from Yale and a Certificate in Anglican Studies from Berkeley Divinity School. Nathan was ordained to the priesthood on December 14, 2024. From 2023 through 2025, Nathan served as Director of Christian Education & Formation at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Wallingford, CT while also working in hospice chaplaincy, refugee resettlement, and higher education. In addition to serving as curate at St. John’s in Williamstown, he is priest-in-charge at All Saints Episcopal Church of the Berkshires in North Adams.

Nathan’s wife, Elizabeth, is a Certified Nurse-Midwife who will be working at Berkshire Medical Center starting in December. Their daughter Josephine was born in 2023, and they welcomed their daughter Ruth in August of 2025.

Outside of church work, Nathan can be found birding, running and playing mandolin. He can be reached at curate@stjohnswilliamstown.org, and he would love to hear from you.
