Funny Bio
Ryan Welch has spent nearly the last ten years in student ministry, which basically makes him fluent in teenage sarcasm and TikTok references. As a new dad and current doctoral student, Ryan is learning the art of running on less sleep than a youth lock-in while still pretending coffee is a food group: always black, never fancy.
When he is not preaching, mentoring next-gen leaders, or leading mission trips, you will likely find him in the mountains backpacking or in front of a TV yelling at Aggie football like he is part of the coaching staff. He is passionate about helping the church live out the Gospel in everyday life. Ryan’s goal is simple: to follow Jesus faithfully and authentically, while encouraging others to do likewise.
