Pastor Ryan and the staff—Selynda, Robert. & Johnny—count it a tremendous privilege to serve under the Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ. King Jesus is the leader at Village Bible Church. As a staff our aim is to be committed to the majesty and glory of Jesus Christ by sharing the greatest Truth of All—the Gospel!—“for I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).
