RYAN LIEBERT 

PASTOR/ELDER - COUNSELING AND FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP 

Ryan was born in Southern California and grew up without knowing the Lord. In college, God graciously intervened in his life, calling him to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. From that point on, Ryan desired to devote his life to serving the Lord more fully.

In 2011, while serving as a short-term missionary in Seoul, South Korea, Ryan met his wife, Jing. In 2019, the Lord led them to the Cincinnati area, where they began attending Grace and Truth (formerly Hyde Park Baptist). Together they have two children, Micah and Elyse.

Ryan is a certified biblical counselor with ACBC. He is currently completing his MDiv and pursuing a ThM at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. He has a love for the writings of the Puritans and is eager to help modern believers benefit from the wisdom of those who have gone before us. His passion is to help brothers and sisters in Christ grasp the greatness of the hope we have in Christ, particularly through counseling, discipleship, and family ministry.
