The Heart Behind the Mission
Jesus restores what's broken. He breathes life into tired souls. Transforms ordinary moments into something beautiful. That's what He does—and that's what we're about.
We’re creating a place where people encounter Jesus, grow in God’s Word, and find family in community. We believe faith flourishes when it’s rooted in Scripture and lived out together—where powerful worship meets everyday discipleship, and where you are truly known.
This is faith that’s anchored for life. Faith that’s built on the One who never fails.
We’d love for you to join us.
Meet Pastor Ryan
Ryan has been in full-time ministry since 2014 serving as a youth pastor, worship pastor, operations pastor, and campus pastor before stepping into his current role as a church planter and lead pastor. Along the way, he’s had the opportunity to help launch churches and lead in growing ministry environments across both rural Iowa and the Twin Cities.
Since 2019, he’s also served as a volunteer police and fire chaplain—walking with people through moments of joy, loss, crisis, and rebuilding. Those experiences have shaped the way he pastors: with presence, compassion, and a deep passion for biblical teaching.
Ryan is married to his wife, Cristina, and together they’re raising their two daughters, Macey (4) and Madison (2). When he’s not spending time with his family or investing in church life, you’ll probably find him on a pickleball court, reading a good book, or enjoying time on the lake—he loves being active, being outside, and making the most of every season.
His heart is simple: help people find faith in Jesus, understand God’s Word, and live it out together.
That’s Anchor.
