John joined the West German Annual Conference of the M.E. Church in the U.S.A. in 1889. The Rev. J.L. Nuelsen served pastoral appointments in Sedalia, Missouri and Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.
In 1890, the Rev. Nuelsen was appointed a Professor at St. Paul's College in St. Paul Park, Minnesota, serving until 1892. During 1892-93 he completed his Master's degree. In 1894 he was appointed a Professor at his alma mater, Central Wesleyan College, serving until 1899.
In 1899 the Nast Theological Professorship in Exegetical Theology was established at German Wallace College, Berea, Ohio with a gift of $20,000 given by Franzeska Wilhelmina "Fanny" Nast Gamble, daughter of the Rev. William Nast (the first President of German-Wallace) and wife of William Gamble (son of Procter and Gamble co-founder James Gamble). The Rev. Dr. John L. Nuelsen was called to this new chair. After three years this department was expanded into the Nast Theological Seminary, which served well in the training of ministers and workers in Christian vocations from 1902 until 1933, especially those of German decent. Dr. Nuelsen served his Professorship until 1908.
He was elected a delegate to the M.E. General Conferences in 1904 and 1908. He also attended the Ecumenical Conferences of 1901 and 1911.
