Meet Our Pastor – Pastor Bobby Nato
At Anchor Baptist Church, we are blessed to be led by Pastor Bobby Nato—a man whose heart beats for both ministry and everyday people.
Bobby is a bi-vocational pastor who understands the challenges of balancing faith, work, and family. With over two decades in the finance world and a clear calling to ministry, he brings down-to-earth wisdom and heartfelt spiritual guidance to all he does.
He answered God's call to ministry in 2016 and was later ordained, taking on the role of shepherd with humility and joy. Since then, he has served faithfully at Anchor Baptist Church in Wellington, where he teaches God’s Word, prays with and for others, and walks alongside those seeking to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Bobby holds a Master of Ministry in Pastoral Leadership from Andersonville Theological Seminary, a journey that deepened his love for Scripture and sharpened his ability to lead with both grace and truth.
Outside the pulpit, Bobby works full-time in the finance sector—bringing excellence, honesty, and servant-hearted leadership to every project. With a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and a Master of Professional Accounting from Victoria University of Wellington, he has contributed to industries ranging from aviation and construction to health care.
But whether he’s preaching on Sunday or working behind the scenes during the week, Bobby is the same—genuine, approachable, and passionate about pointing people to Christ. He believes ministry isn’t confined to church walls and finds joy in mentoring others both in faith and in life.
More than anything, he longs to walk alongside others, sharing the love of Christ and pointing them to the life-changing power of His grace.
