Welcome to McGlinchys.com.
We live in Middle Tennessee, working to restart a church in Cookeville. Nate grew up in the Pacific Northwest, 2200 miles west of where Becky grew up in Northern Indiana. We have two girls, Allayah & Elli, who are now young adults. Allayah and Micah were married in 2022 and live in Louisville, KY, attending Boyce College and Southern Seminary. Allayah also sells her artwork on her Etsy shop. After serving a year in cross-cultural missions, Elli is home and working. Most of our time is devoted to family, following Jesus, serving the local church, and music.
In 2014, we moved from New Jersey to plant BridgeCity Church, where Nate served as lead pastor. In November 2020, BridgeCity merged with Restoration Road Church, and Nate assumed an associate pastor role. During that season of ministry, Nate completed his Master’s degree in Theological Studies at Gateway Seminary while continuing to serve the local church.
Our music remains primarily within the church, but there was a time when our music had a more prominent role in our lives. From 2003-2007 we composed, recorded, and played live shows with our band, Takeaway Me, and at our local church, Downtown@808 (Goshen, IN). During those years, we completed two album projects (Driving & Following In Tension), played many shows, and were featured artists on the Christian Radio station (WFRN) located in Northern Indiana. Becky and I released a solo project with our NJ friends in 2020 titled “For Your Glory.”
In July 2025, Nate accepted the call to pastor a church restart and moved to Cookeville, TN. In August 2025, we launched weekly services for Redeemer Church.
