Ryan Couch – Lead Pastor


Ryan and his family moved to Fort Collins in the summer of 2009 to plant Missio Dei.

Ryan and Andrea have been married for 15 years and have 2 children, Kaitlyn (9) and Carson (7).

Ryan has been involved in pastoral ministry for 13 years, serving for almost 8 years as the founding and lead pastor of Calvary Chapel Crook County, in Prineville, OR.

In the spring of 2009 Ryan was assessed and approved as an Acts 29 church planter.

Ryan and Andrea are thrilled to be here in Fort Collins as missionaries and church planters; joining God on His mission of redeeming this lost and fallen world. They are extremely excited about what Jesus is doing in their hearts individually, as well as what He’s doing through them to impact the people of Missio Dei.

Ryan is passionate about pointing people to Jesus, preaching the gospel (both to himself and others), and developing leaders.
