Welcome, Ryan!
We are pleased to announce that Ryan Meek has been hired as our new Director of Youth Ministries! Ryan has a biblical studies degree, is pursuing a Master of Divinity at Wesleyan Seminary, and is in the ordination process with the Indiana Region.
Ryan grew up in Greenwood and attended Center Grove High School (class of 2000). During high school, he attended a very conservative church that left him with lingering questions about God. In his mid-20s, these questions led to serious searching and reading. After meeting his future wife, Heather, they became involved in church Bible studies and small groups, which awakened Ryan’s passion for issues of justice and inclusivity. Following several Spirit-filled coincidences, Ryan and Heather found a new church home in Tapestry. They began visiting remotely in 2020 and joined in early 2021.
Ryan has been married to Heather (an attorney) since May of 2016. They have three children: Hunter (17), Peyton (12), and an infant, Emerson Junia (5 months). The family loves spending time together at the kids’ sporting events and traveling.
Ryan will begin his ministry on September 7th.
