Ryan Akers
Discipleship Pastor, Men’s Ministry, and Small Groups
I became a follower of Jesus at a youth camp in 1993 when I was 13. Then, at 14, the Lord called me into full-time ministry. Since 2003, I have served in various full-time ministry roles in SD, WI, MO, KS, and now TX, such as youth pastor, discipleship pastor, campus pastor, senior pastor, and church planter. In 2023, after serving 11 blessed years in KS, God called my family to The Harbor. I have been married to my wife, Taylor, since 2001, and we have five beautiful children (four girls and one boy). I received my Bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Ministry from Oklahoma Wesleyan University and my Master’s in Theology from Wesley Seminary. We feel beyond blessed to be part of The Harbor family and firmly believe that the best is always yet to come!
