Beginning in childhood, Hannah Nation has lived in ten cities across three continents. As a student of global Christianity, she is inspired by this opportunity to witness a new chapter in church history unfold across China. Nation currently serves as the Managing Director of the Center for House Church Theology and as Content Director for China Partnership. She is a graduate of Covenant College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

When she isn't focusing on China, Nation loves to study various topics concerning the history of women and Christianity. She wrote a thesis on Harriet Newell, one of the first American missionary wives, and the significance of her posthumous memoir for early evangelical publishing.
​
Nation is a frequent writer and speaker on both contemporary Chinese gospel movements and the history of women in the church, both academically and popularly. Her speaking on both topics ranges from presenting at academic conferences to leading local church retreats. She is a research associate at Gordon-Conwell's Center for the Study of Global Christianity and member of several societies. She has written for The Gospel Coalition, Christianity Today, Plough, byFaith, and Mere Orthodoxy, among other various platforms.

Despite having called so many different places home, Nation considers herself a native of Pittsburgh, where she currently lives with her husband and two young daughters.
