Dr. Ryan Rush grew up in Central Texas and after serving as senior pastor in Austin for a decade, Ryan and Lana were called to Kingsland as Senior Pastor in the spring of 2014. Throughout his ministry, Ryan has sensed a special burden to see homes transformed. He has hosted numerous radio and television programs on the subject of family life. He has authored three books. Home on Time: Life Management by the Book, Walls: Why Everybody's Stuck (and Nobody Has to Be), and Restore the Table.

Ryan and his wife Lana have been married since 1991 and have three daughters: Ryley, Reagan, and Lily. Lily’s unique cognitive and physical challenges have allowed the Rush Family new opportunities to depend on the Lord, and to witness glorious answers to prayer.

Dr. Rush serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Doctor of Ministry program at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is a graduate of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and holds a PhD in Christian Leadership from Dallas Baptist University.
