Ryan Green - Worship/Youth/Associate PastorRyan came to National Hills via Chicago, and is a true Yankee! He has served as the Associate Pastor of Discipleship and Youth since August 1, 2013. Ryan received his BS in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute and served as a youth pastor in the Chicago suburbs for two years after college.
In those two years Ryan's heart and passions began to expand from youth ministry to include the greater church, and after some time felt lead by the Lord to accept this Associate Pastor position. In August of 2014 Ryan added to his pastoral responsibilities, the role of Worship Pastor. Ryan was married to his lovely wife Amy in 2011. They live in Augusta with their dog, Archer ("the-cutest-terror-that-you-have-ever-experienced"). He is an avid coffee drinker (via a Chemex coffee brewer) and plays disc golf regularly. |

WE ASKED RYAN A FEW QUESTIONS. HERE ARE HIS ANSWERS...
If you could pick your last meal on earth what would it be? Chicago Deep Dish Pizza! Hands down.
Do you have kids? How many? None, but my wife has 15 fourth graders, and I have 15 Teenagers and two dogs... that's enough for now.
If you could do something extreme what would it be? White Water Kayaking (I've been and want to go again)
If you were going to turn on music who would it be? Lecrae, 116 Clique, Tenth Ave North, Hillsong (United), Jon Foreman, Rend Collective, DMB, Folk Rock (Mumford & Sons), Debusy, Copland, Igor Stravinsky, Just to name a few.
Mountain Hide-a-way or Beach House? Mountain Hide-A-Way. Well backpacking is good enough.
Favorite sport(s) to watch and play? Watch - Football (go "whoever is on my fantasy team"); Play - Disc Golf
Favorite Bible Passage? Philippians 3:12-15
A truth about God that blows you away? That I can't, nor should I try to, create a good standing with God, but instead Jesus loved me so much that HE became the criminal and I became the son of the KING. Now I can live in the good standing that Jesus bought for me and have a Father/Son relationship with God. And... that's what God wanted before the foundations of the Universe!
