Nat Diliberto

Personal History

Nat heard the gospel presented clearly for the first time while attending the University of Miami (Fl) as a trumpet performance major. Although he was religious and believed in God, Nat realized he had not personally received Christ as his savior. After trusting Christ for his salvation, his life turned around. His focus? Music ministry rather than performance. He met and fell in love with Patty while attending Florida Bible College. They were married in August 1978.

Nat and Patty gained valuable insight into ministry while traveling in the gospel group Eternity. Nat also learned much during his two-year service as Florida Bible College's chairman of the music department. Nat and Patty followed clear direction from the Lord when they moved from South Florida in the summer of 1981 to fill the position of Music Director at Topeka Bible Church. This role that started part-time in March of 1982 soon turned into a full time position as the church grew.

Ministry Responsibilities

Nat's new role, having changed from Music and Worship Pastor, began in May of 2007. As Facility manager he supervises the facility staff, coordinates new construction and renovation, oversees the facilities/vehicle calendar and the care of the TBC grounds, sidewalks and parking lots.

In Technical Arts, he oversees all technical systems for TBC worship services, bible studies, special events and other on or off site meetings where technical services are required. Technical systems include: Sound, lights, video and audio recording, multimedia presentations, the TBC Media ministry and other information technologies.

Matthew and wife Amy live in Colorado; Natalie and husband Nathan live in K.C. and have a beautiful little girl Christine; Elisabeth is married to Stephen Osborne and lives in Topeka and Daniel is married to Robyn and they too live in Topeka and are expecting their first child in July. 

Interesting Tidbits

Nat loves to spend time with his family, listen to all kinds of music (especially jazz), work on home projects and travel - always with a stack of CD's by his side. Nat has had the privilege of playing his horn worldwide - from Japan to the Middle east and from Canada to Central America. One memorable Christmas Nat played with the group Eternity to the glory of God in Manger Square in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve and in Jerusalem on Christmas day.
