Ryley Heppner
BIBLE TEACHER, PASTOR
Ryley Heppner's passion for studying the Scriptures began with a single college course on the Gospel of John, where he first saw how historical context and critical thinking could strengthen-rather than threaten-his faith. That class sparked a lifelong commitment to studying God's Word and to helping others grow in their biblical understanding, theological depth, and cultural discernment.
Over the past 15 years, Ryley has served in church planting, pastoral leadership, academics and action sports ministry. He holds a BA in Biblical Studies from Columbia Bible College, two master's degrees in New Testament Studies from ACTS Seminaries at Trinity Western University, and is currently pursuing a PhD in New Testament Studies at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Originally from British Columbia, as of Fall 2025 he will be based out of Southwest Florida, with his wife Nicole and their three children. Watch the Ryley Heppner podcast.
