Pastor Dustin Blatnik

In September 2023, Dustin Blatnik, alongside his wife Trina, and a close team of friends, planted NOVA Church in Phoenix, Arizona, where he serves as the Lead Pastor. With nearly 30 years of ministry experience, a deep passion for worship, discipleship, and leadership development, Dustin is committed to building a church where people can experience authentic faith and meaningful community. Dustin is also a professional musician, songwriter, and instructor, performing with national artists and launching the instrumental worship project LoFi Hymnal, which quickly gained a global audience that continues to grow. Dustin and Trina have been married for 22 years and love raising their three kids in Phoenix, where they are dedicated to serving their church and city.
