Ryan is the Director of Church and Family Ministry at Churchtown. His responsibilities include leading the Son Seeker Youth Group, overseeing all of the different ministries at Churchtown, handling all the tecnology during Sunday morning service, and much more.
Ryan originally interned at Churchtown in the summer of 2016 as the youth leader. After earning his degree and spending two years as a teacher, Ryan started at Churchtown in 2021. He brings to Churchtown vast experience leading and building youth ministries, with over 6 years of experience already under his belt.
Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with family, including his wife Olivia, who he married in 2019, and their dog, Angel. He also enjoys playing and streaming video games as well as swimming, travelling, and playing sports. When asked what his favorite passage from the Bible was, he said, “That is tough. I have so many parts of the Bible that I like and so many I refer back to. If I had to choose, I guess I would pick what is relevant to my work here at Churchtown. As a creator, I like to build and make things and I like to see the results of what I made. However, God has been teaching me that He is in charge and that everything happens in his timing, not mine, and my job is to trust in Him.”
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-14 (NIV)
