RYAN SUESS
Worship Leader & Campus Minister


Hi, I'm Ryan Suess. I am one of the people responsible for making worship happen every week. I work with a team of musicians mostly practicing, and implementing worship for Sunday Services.

I also spend half my time working as a College minister at the University of Washington. My desire is to see students make a decision to follow Christ during there time at University. This was my story, and I have such a heart to see others experience a life of purpose following God

BASIC STUFF

I grew up in Lodi, California and then moved to Ferndale, WA when I was ten. I first came to seattle in 2002 to attend Seattle Pacific University where I studied for four years. After college graduation I felt the call into worship and college ministry so I moved to Nashville, TN to attend a training school specific to my ministry calling. In the Spring of 2007 I moved back to Seattle where I reside now working for Every Nation Ministries and this local church. I currently live in South Seattle on Beacon Hill.

I love living an active lifestyle. I commute often around the city on my bike which I have had for five years. In my life I have played Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Football, Rowing, Cross Country, and Track and Field. I also love hiking which makes living in the Pacific Northwest an ideal place to live! Fly fishing is also something I like to do to just unwind.
