Our Leadership and Staff
Meet the Staff of McGrawsville Community Church
Ryan Ramsey
Lead Pastor
"Preach the Word, Lead the Church." are the words Jesus spoke to Ryan when he heard his call to ministry. When Alyssa and Ryan were married in 2009 their passion for showing Jesus' name to the local Church was evident. Their son Emery joined in the fun in 2012 and then daughter Willow entered the scene in 2016. Ryan is a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University in 2009 and Wesley Seminary in 2017. Woodworking is dear to his heart. He spends a lot of his time processing what God is saying to him and the congregation, while doing that. Whether its music, video,
preaching, teaching, training, or equipping, you'll find the Ramsey family doing whatever it takes to make Jesus' name known to the world.
