Our Leadership Team

Bro. Grant Dykes

Brother Grant became the pastor at Ryans Creek in November 2022. He has been in ministry for 10 years, serving as lead pastor for the last 8 years.  He graduated from Liberty University in 2016 with a Master of Arts in Religion.  His priorities in ministry are faithfully preaching the Word of God and proclaiming the good news of the gospel while lovingly shepherding the incredible Ryans Creek church family.

Grant and Kristen were married in August 2005 and have two amazing children, Drew and Miranda. As a family, they enjoy traveling (especially to Disney), spending time with their fur babies, and cheering on the Auburn Tigers!

The Dykes Family feels so blessed to be serving the Lord at Ryans Creek Baptist Church. God is so good and there are great days ahead for this church and community!
