Equippers Church Leadership

Equippers Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.

Pastor Ryan McDowell

Senior Pastor

Pastor Ryan has been leading Equippers Church since October of 2006. He and his wife, Rebecca, are purposely living out a God-given calling. He strives to walk with integrity of heart and leave footprints for others to follow that point to Christ.

He emphasizes God's comprehensive rule over a believer's life and makes it his goal each week for people to experience God's presence and power. Being grounded in the Bible and developing a consistent hunger for God's presence are keys to a vital Christian walk.

Pastor Ryan has been happily married to Rebecca for 30 years. They have three children: Steven, Andrew, and Sophia.
