Today Pastor Nugent has a beautiful young family who are his first calling and highest responsibility. His wife, Melissa, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida and CEO of For A Whole Life, LLC. Her professional skills blend perfectly with the ministry God has called them, as a couple, to serve in. Together they are a family striving to do what God would have them do – not perfect but humans in need of redemption just like everyone else.
