Assistant to the Rector:  Philip Ryan
September 1, 2016
Our newly hired Assistant to the Rector, Philip Ryan, along with his wife Amanda and their daughter Greta, will be moving into Louttit Hall on August 26.  He will officially begin on September 1st.  Philip has extensive ministry experience and is a gifted preacher and teacher.  He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Studies and Languages at Evangel University, his Master of Arts degree in Exegetical Theology at Covenant Theological Seminary, and his Master of Theology degree at Candler School of Theology, Emory University.  Christ Church has a rich tradition of raising up ordained clergy, and along these lines Philip will be entering the ordination process in The Episcopal Church.  In the meantime he will be licensed by Bishop Benhase as a Licensed Lay Preacher and a Licensed Lay Eucharistic Minister.  Here at Christ Church he will be working on developing our college and youth ministries, further developing our local outreach efforts, and doing some preaching and teaching as well.  I ask you to join me in warmly welcoming Philip, Amanda, and Greta into our Christ Church family!

The Ryan's will be here the afternoon of Friday, August 26 around 2 PM.  We need volunteers to help them unload their U-Haul.  

There will be a H.E.P Party at the Rectory on September 1st beginning at 6:00 p.m. to welcome the Ryan family to Christ Church.
