About
Pastor Ryan’s heart behind every ministry project, book, and partnership is to see the local and global church thriving. When local churches are healthy and making disciples who are mobilized to do ministry AND these churches work together to build one another up, the entire world will feel the benefit and impact!
Personal Story
As a third generation pastor, Ryan took a fun detour in his college years by studying to be a scientist. After many years of school and finishing his doctoral degree, he felt called to full-time ministry.Ryan served as a Student Ministries Pastor and Executive Pastor, and now Lead Pastor over his 23 years in ministry.
Husband & Father
Ryan and Adrienne Nuñez married in 1999 (the late 1900s as our kids like to say) and have four amazing children: Eric, Isaac, Abraham, and Grace.
Lead Pastor & Teacher
Palm Valley Church began with a small handful of couples in a living room in Goodyear, Arizona in 2001. Since then, Palm Valley Church has grown to include two physical locations and one online campus reaching thousands every weekend. Through this amazing growth God has brought our way, the mission remains the same: to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Local Church Coach
The Healthy Church Conference, hosted by Palm Valley Church, exists to help pastors and leaders implement healthy practices in their church through biblical principles. We want to see every local church thrive, whether they are a mile down the road or around the world.
Global Church Partner
Through partnerships with Finishing the Task and other leaders, Pastor Ryan travels regularly to equip and mentor pastors in Africa and across the globe.
