LEADERSHIP & STAFF

Meet Ryan alexander, lead pastor

Hi there! I'm honored and thrilled that you are taking the time to get to know Hosanna Church.

Nothing gets me up in the morning like the thought of more people waking up to God’s transforming love for them in Jesus. I long for Hosanna Church to become everything God has created us to be so that His irresistible love can reach and empower those very people.

Let me introduce myself: I grew up in a small mill town on the west coast, and at 20 years old, I woke up to God's real and relentless love for me in Jesus.

I am exceedingly blessed to be married to a bright, beautiful woman named Jennifer. We are partners in life and ministry. Together we are raising three awesome (and very noisy) young men. We prioritize spending time with each other as a couple and family, and we love living life together.

It won’t take you long to discover I am an avid sports fan with a lasting affinity for teams from the Pacific Northwest, where I grew up. That said, I have also joined the hearty, steadfast throng of Minnesota fans who, without skipping a beat, can say: “There’s always next year…”

Above all, I love Jesus. He saved my soul and keeps freeing me from myself daily.

And, as a church, we would love the opportunity to meet you and introduce you to Jesus—the head of our church, who’s calling you deeper into His love and purpose for you.
