ABOUT RYAN
S. Ryan Hitchens (Ryan)
Formal Title: Director of Community Engagement
Working Title: Alliance Shepherd
Ryan grew up in Louisiana. Very involved throughout his life in the Black church (choir, usher, young adult ministry, etc.). He knows the church. He also trained and has experience in leadership, with a track record in success in helping transform church and community groups. He’s been in Madison for about a year, but has already created deep ties to equity work being done across our City.

He's managed volunteers and programs, and he knows how to connect with people. He'll be a strong bridge between our two independent congregations. Ryan will be a key component in the "fabric that will help both churches become,” as Pastor Mitchell has put it, "more knit together."

Ryan will be introduced to us at our joint worship service (10:30 am; outdoors) and will provide the primary message for sermon time.
