Pastor Ryne Brewer

Ryne is finishing a Master of Divinity degree from Covenant Theological Seminary and holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis. His passions are biblical theology and practical theology emphasizing the story-formed reality of the Bible and how it shapes every aspect of our stories. Ryne has spent over a decade serving local churches, including three years as a pastor in training at The Journey in St. Louis, Missouri (2013–2016), three years as a college minister with Campus Outreach St. Louis (2016-2019), and more recently three years as a church planter in residence at Immanuel Nashville (2019-2022). He more recently came over to serve as Assistant Pastor and Pastor in Residence at Christ Church, which was planted in the north suburbs of Nashville, TN, as of April 2022.

Ryne and Alisha have been married for 7 years and have two kids: Knox (3) and Easton (2). They met while Ryne served on staff at a church in St. Louis and Alisha served on staff with the college ministry Campus Outreach. As a family they love spending time with extended family, taking yearly trips to the beach, enjoying the little things, laughing as much as possible, being outside, and meeting new people. Their prayer for Christ Church is it would be a place for the weak to find strength, the lonely to find community, the hurting to be healed, and the hopeless to find hope that only Jesus can provide!
