Leadership

Pastor Ryan Miller moved with his family in August 2024 to replant Christ Church de Cañon. He previously served as the Associate Pastor of Arise Presbyterian Church in Vista, CA. He is a graduate of Purdue University (B.S. Biomedical Engineering) and Westminster Seminary California (M.Div.). He is married to Bailey, and they have two children, Millie and Clem. As a pastor, Ryan desires to help others grow in Christlikeness, through the power of the Spirit, so that they may lead a life worthy of God, who is calling you into his own kingdom and glory (1 Thessalonians 2:12).

  • We take very seriously Jesus’ command to “Let the little children come to me!” (Luke 18:16). So the most important ministry we offer children is to treat them as equal members of God’s family along with the rest of the congregation. We believe children shouldn’t just be occupied or entertained in the church but that they should be encouraged to worship and serve according to their abilities and the faith God has given them. Here are a few specific things we offer children:

    • Nursery for little ones during the worship service.

    • A children’s talk in the service by Pastor Ryan specifically for children up to 5th grade, in part to teach them that church isn’t just for their parents.

    • A special children’s bulletin with questions, activities, and a coloring page designed to help children listen and learn from the sermon in an age-appropriate way.

  • Absolutely! Visitors are always welcome. You will not be singled out, and nothing is expected of you. We only hope that you will encounter Jesus through His Word and His people!

  • We gather together on Sunday mornings to worship the risen Savior at 10:00AM. Our worship is in the Reformed tradition and is Christ centered with an emphasis on singing, praying, hearing God's written Word proclaimed, and celebrating the Lord's Table.

  • Christ Church de Cañon was founded in 1932 as a mission of the Grace Brethren. In 2022, the church voted to become a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and is now a part of the Rio Grande Presbytery.

  • We are thankful to be part of the Presbyterian Church in America. The PCA is committed to the Bible, the Gospel, and the Great Commission. The PCA provides accountability and oversight—which makes for healthier local churches and pastors. Learn more about the PCA here.
