Biography

Patrick Nurre, Speaker and Author

Patrick Nurre, speaker and author, was in the second grade when he made his first big find – a large dinosaur bone in the alley behind his house! That was the beginning of a love for geology. Raised in beautiful Montana, he spent many days rockhounding near the Big Horn River. This early interest led him to a lifelong study of the world of geology. Patrick was trained in secular geology, but after becoming a Christian, he began to seriously reevaluate his previous evolutionary beliefs, and became, instead, a young-earth creationist.

Today, Patrick conducts geology classes (PreK-12) and seminars in Washington state, and speaks at numerous home school and church conventions on geology and our young earth. He also leads a variety of geology field trips every year, including Yellowstone Park, where he helps families discover the Biblical geology of the park. Patrick is the vision behind Northwest Treasures, a 501(c)3 corporation, devoted to creating excellent geology kits, curricula, classes and tours/field trips for all ages. To help in this endeavor, Patrick has written 17 books on geology for PreK-12. He is a long-standing participant in the IAC (International Association of Creation) Professional Development Program. In addition, he draws on over 40 years of pastoring experience. Patrick and his wife, Vicki, have three wonderful children and four grandchildren, and live in Wapato, Washington.

What people are saying...

“Patrick Nurre brings a wealth of field experience in geology and a warm-hearted approach to the needs of homeschoolers. I highly recommend him to you!” Diana Waring, homeschool author/speaker.
I’m walking along the shoreline of Clinton Lake with my dog looking at millions of fossils as I listen to one of your lectures on YouTube. This is probably the ninth or 10th time I’ve listened to your talk and I love it more each time. One of these days I’m going to invite a bunch of people to my home and watch this talk with them. Scott H.
After hearing you speak, I realized how crucial geology is to a creation worldview. You wove the other sciences (chemistry and biology to memory) into the study of geology, and I was fascinated by the fact that really, rock formation is literally and figuratively the foundation of creation. How could I have missed that with all the creation teaching I've heard and taught? Bonnie W.
I wanted to say thank you for boldly teaching the truth behind science. I learned more about how the Bible works with science than I ever have before. I was in your geology class on Saturday morning and I was so glad that you talked about teaching our children to be soldiers. So it was affirming sitting in your class and having you share your heart for this next generation. I am forever changed because you spoke truth and now I am seeking that truth so I can share with my children and all that I can share with. Laurie J.
