Ryan McClelland

Senior Pastor

I’m the Senior Pastor of New Horizons Community Church in Spokane, Washington. For more than a decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping people discover Jesus, grow in their faith, and experience the transforming power of God’s Word.

My journey in ministry has taken me through nearly every corner of church life, from worship and outreach to communications, missions, and executive leadership. Along the way, I’ve discovered that what I love most about ministry is seeing lives transformed by Jesus, developing leaders, and helping people become mature followers of Christ. I’m passionate about building a healthy, thriving church that is deeply rooted in Scripture, genuinely loves people, and makes a meaningful difference in our community.

Before becoming Senior Pastor, I served as Executive Pastor at New Horizons, overseeing staff, church operations, and ministry development. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Theology from Whitworth University, completed three years of immersive ministry training at Spokane Ministry Institute, and am ordained in the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana).

My wife, Lindsey, and I have called Spokane home since 2012, and we love being part of this community. We have a daughter, Mercedes, who’s now navigating her college years, which means we’re discovering a whole new season of parenting!

I love Jesus, I love the local church, and I genuinely believe some of the best days for the church in Spokane are still ahead of us.
