Worship Leader
Ryan John
Ryan John is a uniquely gifted minister of the gospel!
Ryan has served alongside ministers and worship leaders such as Rend Collective, Shane Pruitt, Dr. John MacArthur, Wade Morris, Rush of Fools, Aaron Keyes, Charles Billingsley, and Shawn McDonald just to name a few.
At age 13 Ryan started traveling part time and guest speaking at church conferences and youth rallies. Age 15 he was offered a part time church staff position. At age 17 he was the pastor of a church. The day after he turned 18 he became a licensed and ordained minister. Ryan has earned his Masters of Divinity degree and continues to travel and minister through worship and speaking.
Years ago while touring as a speaker, he noticed a lot of churches were interested in bringing in a speaker…and a band. After struggling week after week to find available bands, Ryan prayed that God would give him the voice to sing and the talent to play the guitar in order to more effectively travel and minister. Thus began the stirring in his heart for music ministry.
