Ryan Smith
Chief responsibilities:
Worship
College Pastor – Real Life College and Career Ministry
Bio:
I was graciously saved in the first grade while living in Redmond, Oregon. My family eventually moved to Eugene, Oregon while I was in the fifth grade. While I was a Junior in high school I began to play guitar and lead worship. It was at this time that I felt as though I had found my calling and my passion. While attending Oregon State University I began to lead worship for Campus Crusade for Christ and attending Real Life, our college ministry. Halfway through my junior year at OSU the Lord opened the door to play music in a touring Christian band called Cadet. Two years later the Lord graciously called me back to be the worship leader here at Calvary Chapel Corvallis.
Prayer requests:
I would like prayer for new inspiration from the Lord for our worship services, including prayer for new songs, new instruments, but most of all that the Lord would continue to put a new spirit in our worship as a church.
Goals in ministry:
To prepare people for the amazing worship that will take place in heaven.
