Meet Pastor Bryan Ross

Pastor Bryan Ross and Family

The Ross family, along with a core group of saints from Holland, Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Grand Rapids, Michigan founded Grace Life Bible Church in October 2007.

As the son of a Grace Minister, Pastor Bryan had the fortunate experience of being raised under Grace teaching. Upon graduating from Bader High School in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin in 1996, Bryan began attending Grace Bible College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After twice changing his major, Bryan decided to pursue two Bachelor’s Degrees through a cooperative program between Grace Bible College and Cornerstone University. This decision was motivated by two primary factors. First, Bryan possessed a burning desire to teach and preach the message of Grace. Second, as the son of a tent-making Grace Preacher, Bryan possessed firsthand knowledge of the financial struggle to make ends meet. Consequently, the decision was made to pursue a career teaching history at the secondary level as well as a degree in Religious Education. In the end, Bryan was awarded a Bachelor of Religious Education Degree from Grace Bible College and a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education from Cornerstone University.

While in college, Bryan met and married his wonderful wife Rebekah.  Shortly after getting married, Bryan took a position filling the pulpit at West Side Grace Church in Muskegon, Michigan.  Upon completing his undergraduate studies, Bryan officially became the pastor of West Side Grace Church, a position he filled for five years.  In the meantime, Bryan and Becky moved to Cedar Springs, MI where Bryan took his first job teaching high school Social Studies at Creative Technologies Academy, where he taught until December 2007.  During this time the Ross Family doubled in size, with the birth of their two sons.

In 2006, in order to meet the continuing education requirement to maintain his teaching certification.  Bryan enrolled in graduate school at Norwich University in Vermont.  In June of 2008, Bryan was awarded his Masters Degree in Military History. Currently, Bryan is utilizing his degree by teaching in the Social Studies Department of a large public High School in West Michigan.

In addition to attending Grace Bible College, Bryan also enrolled in Grace School of the Bible with Pastor Richard Jordan.  This unique experience provided Pastor Ross with two different perspectives on Grace teaching.  Thus having attended both institutions, Bryan can speak from an informed position on divergent doctrinal matters, rather than resorting to the hearsay and conjecture that has all too often dominated doctrinal disagreements within the wider Grace movement.
