Ryan James
Executive Pastor of Ministries
Ryan is the husband of Katy, the father of Greyson, Elle, and Madelyn, and has been at Trinity since October 2024.
Originally from Leesville, Louisiana, Ryan has served in churches in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee since 2010. Ryan holds a B.A. from Louisiana Tech University and a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Theological Baptist Seminary.
Ryan came to faith in Christ at Dry Creek Baptist Camp at the age of 15, and followed a call into ministry while in college. With a passion for discipleship and Biblical community, Ryan and Katy have centered their lives on Paul’s example in 1 Thessalonians 2:8. His desire is for the local church to be a place to know God and be known by others.
In his spare time Ryan loves to fish on Big Lake, take his family camping, or explore a new city. He enjoys several cups of coffee a day and always has a stack of books he is forever reading and never finishing.
