Natalie Bartelme

At the young age of 8, the DNA was set deep in Natalie’s heart that she was to be a “missionary and a writer” proclaiming the Good News of Jesus of Christ to all she would meet. This mission and commitment of “living as one sent” has not wavered. For the past 20 years, God has used and shaped Natalie as a women in ministry leader, speaker, writer, mentor and equipper of youth, college and women of all ages, races and backgrounds. Additionally, as a 20-something leader, she had the joy of ‘unintentionally’ helping plant a church while yet in college, starting and directing several women’s ministries and evangelistic women’s conferences and retreats. Her belief that you ‘give God a blank page and let Him write the script’ has allowed her to develop and implement a number of original outreach events, dramas and worship services bearing fruit for His Kingdom. Additionally, she continues to be active in engaging the culture and serves as a writer and developer of new ministry resources, Bible study teacher, worship leader, discipler, counselor, trainer, coach and mentor of moms and women leaders.Natalie has been a speaker, leader, seminar presenter and worship leader at many youth, young adult, college, marriage and women conferences, retreats and events for organizations such as Campus Crusade For Christ, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Young Life, Shielded Hearts, MOPS, Stonecroft Ministries - Christian Women’s Club and the Evangelical Free Church of America RESOUND women’s ministries and other not-for profit organizations. Since 2004, Natalie has worked for and served with the EFCA RESOUND national women’s ministries. Natalie is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire with B.A. in Journalism - Advertising/Public Relations and is a graduate of the EFCA Women’s Ministries Internship. 

Currently, Natalie and her husband, Bob, serve at Redeemer Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Bob is a pastor and Natalie serves as the Women’s Ministries Director and worship leader. She and Bob have two school aged children: Joshua and Lindsay.
