Main Speaker

Rev. Ryan Dougan

Ryan, Micaela, and their four daughters (Evie, Kendall, Sutton, and Stevie Lynn) have spent the last 10 years in Houston working in student and young adults ministry through Christ the King Presbyterian Church. After spending years sending students to Texas RUF and later receiving graduates from Texas RUF, they are thrilled to finally be a part of this ministry in Austin! As is true for most girl dads, Ryan enjoys dance parties, talent shows, and watching all the Disney princess movies with his kids. Not to worry though, he also enjoys woodworking, sports, and of course, cheering on the Longhorns… Hook em!
