Ryan feels blessed and privileged to have been appointed to shepherd the flock at CBCOC. He considers the responsibilities of ministry of the word and prayer (Acts 6:4) as weighty responsibilities. It is his hope and prayer that the church can grow in its love for, worship of, and commitment to Christ and his mission.
