All about Ryan

Ryan's school days are over (for now at least). Ryan graduated from Concordia Seminary in the spring and was called to St. John Lutheran in Ellisville, MO as an Associate Pastor. He is one of the teaching pastors, and also leads the Spiritual Life Team, which includes oversight of the various worship venues and spiritual formation process at St. John. Ryan loves preaching regularly and leading Outpost Maplewood, our worship venue that meets at Schlafly Bottleworks on Tuesday nights (Kristy and Andrew join him). He also enjoys leading Iron Men Ministries, designed to help move men in their faith journeys to become better dads, husbands, and leaders.

Ryan continues to "spin" at the YMCA about 3x a week, and Kristy has now decided to join him! In the summer, the road bike gets more wear and tear than the spinning bike, but in these cold months, the spinner works great. It has been an exciting 2007 for Ryan - Call Day, Graduation, Ordination, Daddyhood - all the things he has been anticipating for quite some time. God is good.
