Rev. Ryan Petrie joined the staff of Greenview Baptist Church in early 2010 as our part-time youth minister. As an ordained pastor, Ryan has served as pastor, interim pastor, youth pastor/director and various other positions in churches throughout the Eastern half of the U.S. A native Pittsburghian, Ryan is a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan (BOO!) and is also a black belt in Karate. Ryan has a bachelor's from Cincinnati Christian University and a Master's degree as well. Ryan's family is such a blessing to the work here, and all of them have a passion for seeing the lost to come to Jesus. Ryan teaches free karate lessons at the church on the 1st Saturday of every month, and the Wazza Warriors Karate Club, a paid group that allows the students to earn belts, meets on Monday nights here. Ryan and his wife Julia, a native of Kentucky, live in Independence with their children, Nathan, Stephen, Sarah, and Ethan.
