Associate Minister, Ryan Charest

Ryan was born and raised in Rapid City, SD.  With encouragement from his family and his youth minister, Bob Cole, Ryan decided to devote his life to full-time ministry while still in high school. Ryan, a four-year letterman in soccer, graduated from Nebraska Christian College.

An avid sportsman, Ryan has an abiding passion for fishing, hunting, golf, and baseball. His infectious joie de vivre is a blessing to all who know him. Ryan’s wife, Pam, also graduated from Nebraska Christian College and is currently a Registered Nurse. They have been blessed with three wonderful children, Reese 6, Lilly 3 and Ryder 1, which keep them busy.

An interview with Ryan:

 When asked what his greatest dream for North Point is, he replied, “Seeing unchurched people come to a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ!”
