Pastor Nikki Blanks
Rev. Nicole Blanks (or Pastor Nikki as she’s known around here!) has served as the pastor at Delafield Presbyterian Church since 2016. She holds a Masters Degree in Old Testament Literature from Cardinal Stritch University and a Masters of Divinity from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. She was ordained by the congregation of Delafield Presbyterian Church in 2016, shortly after her graduation from McCormick. Prior to seminary, she served as the Christian Education Director at First Presbyterian Church in Racine. Before that, she was ordained in another denomination, serving as a college pastor for international students.
Pastor Nikki is a native to the Milwaukee area, and though she has lived and worked in many different parts of the country, always finds her way back to Milwaukee one way or another. She currently resides in the Riverwest Neighborhood of Milwaukee with her husband, Sean, and their three cats.
Pastor Nikki loves the congregation of Delafield Presbyterian Church and is consistently amazed by how big a heart a little church can have. She is deeply committed to helping the church to look outside of its own walls, to give and receive grace and to love without condition.
In her free time, Pastor Nikki enjoys gardening, fitness, volunteer work and entertaining friends and family.
