Patrick Holden

Lead Pastor, Nuvo Church

Patrick Holden is the founding and lead pastor of Nuvo Church in Dublin, Ohio, a church built around a simple mission: creating space for people to explore and experience Jesus. In 2020, Patrick and his family moved to Columbus to plant Nuvo Church in the midst of the pandemic. This experience shaped his passion for innovation, resilience, and helping churches navigate change. Prior to launching Nuvo, Patrick served at North Point Ministries in Atlanta and Kensington Church in Metro Detroit, where he developed a passion for church planting, leadership development, and reaching people far from God. .

Patrick is a church planter, speaker, and writer who is passionate about equipping the next generation of church leaders to build healthy, multiplying churches. He regularly contributes to conversations about the future of the church through speaking, podcasts, and articles. His work focuses on church planting, leadership, organizational culture, technology, and helping churches reach spiritually curious people with both truth and grace.

Patrick and his wife, Emily, live in the Columbus, Ohio, area with their three children, where they continue pursuing their vision of building churches that look like hope and feel like home.
