Ryan Ward

Ryan Ward was born and raised in Montana. He's a "jack of all trades" kind of guy who can write poetry and songs or weld a trailer or build custom furniture. He fills his freezer each year with wild game - it's a way of life. In his early years he worked in painting, locksmithing, and commercial salmon fishing.

Ryan and his wife, Andrea, were married in 2003 and have two children. They are passionate about serving Jesus together as a family. Ryan loves spending time with his wife and kids. Ministry is his main pursuit, but he also enjoys recreational activities and hobbies including woodworking, basketball, hunting, fishing and backpacking.

Ryan earned a bachelor's degree in pastoral studies from Montana Bible College in Bozeman, Montana, and a master of arts in biblical and theological studies from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon.

Ryan served as Associate Pastor at Manhattan Bible Church, Manhattan, Montana, from 1998-2007, overseeing high school and junior high youth ministries, worship, leadership development, and administration. Since 2007, Ryan has served full time at Montana Bible College. He teaches Family Development, Biblical Peacemaking, Youth Ministry, Applied Bible Study Methods, Preaching, and various books of the Bible.
