Our Pastor

Pastor Ryan and his wife, Courtney, are raising their four children—Jax, Adelie, Tucker, and Cam—in Monroe County, the community they are grateful to call home.

Courtney has been Ryan’s faithful partner throughout every season of ministry, and together they share a deep desire to see families know Christ, grow in his Word, and find genuine community within the local church. Ryan’s ministry began through street outreach in Daytona Beach, Florida, where he developed a burden for reaching people with the gospel and helping them understand the Bible.

During those early years, he served at GraceLife Beachside and spent three formative years under the pastoral mentorship of Dr. Jeff Eckert. That relationship helped shape Ryan’s commitment to careful biblical teaching, patient pastoral care, and a ministry centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
After returning home to Monroe County, Ryan served for three years as Student and Teaching Pastor at The Gospel Mission Church. There, he worked closely with students and families, taught Bible studies, preached regularly, and provided pastoral care throughout the community.

Ryan holds two business degrees from Daytona State College and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity on a PhD track at NOBTS with a focus on biblical languages.

Before entering vocational ministry, Ryan also built and led two multimillion-dollar companies. That experience continues to shape his approach to leadership, stewardship, organization, and serving people well.

His aim in ministry is simple: to teach the Bible clearly, help people see the beauty of Jesus in every verse, and show how the gospel speaks into everyday life.
