Youth &Young Adult Ministry Director

Ryan was once told to be the bigger man and he took it literally! Not just in his size but with his personality as well. Ryan grew up in the church, and student ministry played a huge role in his love for Christ. He feels called to do student ministry to help develop students in the same way he was so that they can grow in their walk with Christ and impact the future.

Minister of Pastoral Care

Rollan graduated from Indiana University with a Dr. Of Optometry degree in 1968 and practiced for 16 years in Cassopolis, Mi . During those sixteen years I spent eight  years as the Chaplain of the Cass Co. Jail, MI.  I left my practice in Cassopolis and joined the Indiana Health service in 1984 and spent 20 years active duty on several Indian reservations treating the Native Americans. I   retired in 2004 in Tucson, AZ and we attended the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene for the next 13 years. We  moved to Decatur in 2017 where we  attend d1Naz.  I received  the call to the ministry by the Holy Spirit  in early July 2021 and received my local License in September 2021.
