This is a group for Young Men in their 20’s and 30’s. At this time, we are going through a book titled, Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur. It is a book about the twelve disciples and how Jesus used these men with weaknesses, quirks, and failures to change the world. We would love for you to join us in person at Ryan and Alison’s house or via Google meets on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:00pm. Please email Ryan if you would like the address of the Google Meets Link. 

This is a group for Young Women in their 20’s and 30’s. Alison is leading these young woman through a program called “Woman,” based on The Book of Womanhood by Dr. Amy Davis Abdallah. This is a curriculum that focuses on establishing what biblical womanhood is, and helping each woman become who she was created to be in Christ. Meetings are the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm at Ryan and Alison’s house or via ZOOM. Please email Ryan if you would like the address of the meeting or the ZOOM link.

Ryan Strange is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, but has spent time living in a total of seven different states. Nevertheless, Indianapolis was always home for him; which is why he is still a diehard Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Hoosiers (basketball) fan. He received my Bachelor’s Degree from Taylor University and his Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary. His hobbies are watching a good show, reading a good book, playing video games, and spending time with his family.

When he was in college, he started out as a Bible major. That interest later turned into a passion, which turned into a calling. Every time Ryan looked elsewhere, or investigated different vocations, the door always slammed shut. There was just a point when he felt that his call was inescapable, and he surrendered to the Lord’s will.

Over the years, that call has been refined. Ryan started as a solo pastor at a church of 20, and has had various roles in other churches prior to his arrival at Centerpoint. What has remained constant is his passion for preaching the Word and for equipping believers, particularly young men and women, to be the ministers that the Lord has called them to be.

In 2015, Ryan met his wife, Alison, and they were married in February of the next year. She is truly a partner in ministry.

Alison grew up in Santa Clarita, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. At 18, she moved to New York to attend Nyack College, where she majored in Communications and minored in theatre. While a student at Nyack, Alison served as an RA and developed a passion for mentoring young women. In 2013, she was hired as the Area Coordinator of her former woman’s dorm. She later took a job at Roberts Wesleyan College as the Administrative Assistant for the Cultural Life Center where she found ways to invest in the lives of the college students who crossed her path. Since leaving full-time work to stay home with their two young children, Alison has continued to find ways serve and mentor young women, encouraging them to grow deeper in their faith and discover and live out the calling Christ has placed on their life.
