OUR LEADERSHIP
RYAN HENRY
Elder
Ryan Henry has been a part of the REF family since 2007, and he has served as one of their worship leaders since joining. An Oswego/Montgomery citizen, Ryan considers it a great joy to serve the Lord in his own in "stompin' grounds". Ryan, his bride Marianne, and their seven children, live in Oswego. They are passionate for the Church to be the way God intended it - a family of Jesus followers that love each other wholeheartedly, share meals with one another, open their homes regularly, embrace the lost, worship together, and share their lives together in a way that leaves others in awe and wonder. Ryan also teaches K-5 elementary school in District 204, directs choirs at Young Naperville Singers, and is on staff at OneWay Ministries as the host for their podcast "One80". Ryan also enjoys serving by leading worship for a variety of events and bringing the creative worship community together for fellowship and media projects. In 2020, he released his first album called "Wedding Day", which features the REF worship team and Christians from churches across the region.
