Meet the Team: Part 5

Ryan moved from Colorado to join Desert’s End in 2011. He now serves as a deacon and helps lead the Missions Support small group, where he’s passionate about encouraging and uplifting those serving around the world.

He’s married to Abra, and together they have four amazing kids: Emma, Rosalee, Annabelle, and Asher. Ryan is also a serious coffee enthusiast, running his own small-batch roastery out of his home. He’s been making Sunday morning coffee at Desert’s End great for years.

We’re grateful for Ryan’s heart for missions and his dedication to serving our church family!

Such a beautiful Sunday together.

From worship to the message, we were reminded of both God's power and mercy. When God provides, moves, or blesses us, He deserves all the glory.

Join us in two days for Good Friday as we reflect together, and don’t forget to invite someone to Easter—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Meet the Team: Part 4

Barrie Wheeler is a deacon at Desert’s End who loves spending time with his kids and grandkids and is happily married to his wife, Sue. He’s passionate about diving deep into God’s Word and often finds joy in pondering how Scripture intersects with the world around us.

Barrie leads the Equipping the Saints Missional Community alongside Owen, where the focus is on studying the Bible and applying it to our lives in a practical, fulfilling, and spiritually rich way.

We’re grateful for Barrie’s thoughtful leadership and his heart for helping us grow deeper in God’s Word and live out our faith with intention and joy!

Meet the Team: Part 3

John is one of our deacons who helped establish Desert’s End in 2006 alongside Owen. He has been tirelessly serving wherever there’s a need ever since—whether that’s setting up and tearing down after a service or leading Bible studies. He leads the Service Missional Community alongside Ethan.

John is married to Lilia and is the proud father of Alex and Alena. He loves cracking dad jokes and spending quality time with his granddaughters, Ari and Anastasia. Originally from South Dakota, John enjoys cooler weather and taking walks under pine trees whenever he can.

We’re so thankful for John’s heart of humility and his faithful dedication to meeting the practical needs of our church family. His love and commitment bless us all in countless ways!

This week, we were reminded through Israel’s story that grumbling reveals where faith is lacking. Even when the wilderness feels unbearable, God is still working, and we’re called to live with grateful faith.

Meet the Team: Part 2

Pastor Brandon serves full-time at Desert’s End, helping to lead the men and women there into a greater passion for the Kingdom of God and a greater confidence in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

He has been faithfully leading at Desert’s End since 2010. Brandon is married to Jen and they have four awesome kids—Rebecca, Hudson, Glory, and Victoria. He’s also a big basketball fan and never misses a chance to cheer on the Celtics.

We’re deeply grateful for all the ways he leads, serves, and sacrifices to make our community a more faith-filled place.

Meet the Leadership Team: Part 1

Owen helped found Desert’s End back in 2006 and faithfully shepherded the church till his pastoral retirement late last year. But even retirement didn't bring his service to a halt. He currently leads the Equipping the Saints Missional Community alongside Barrie, where he shares his love for Scripture and invites others to go deeper in God’s Word.

Owen is married to Shirley, and they have four children—Zeke, Beth, Timo, and Gracie—as well as four beloved grandchildren. When he’s not teaching, you’ll likely find him on the golf course or tending to his rose garden.

We’re so grateful for Pastor Owen’s steady leadership. His years of service have shaped Desert’s End into the Christ-centered, welcoming community it is today.
