Meet Our Team
Nate Liston is the Lead Pastor of FreedomRidge. He graduated from Ozark Christian College with a Bachelors of Biblical Literature degree and went on to Covington Theological Seminary where he graduated with a Masters of Ministry degree. He enjoys fishing and the outdoors, and spending time with his family.
Nate tricked Emma into marrying him in 1990, and they now have two of the greatest daughters around. Emma is the Librarian at the Colo-Nesco High School and Elementary. She enjoys reading, movies, spending time with family, and shopping.
Eric Bryant is our Worship Pastor and Lead Rocker of FreedomRidge. He is a talented musician who spends most of his time as the campus minister for Campus Christian Fellowship. You can find CCF on Facebook here.
Eric graduated from Western Kentucky University and went on to get a Masters from Cincinnati Christian University. He has a wide variety of interests, one of which is dressing up like Nacho Libre and body slamming unsuspecting passersby.
Bobby King is our Student Pastor and leads The Ridge which is a ministry geared towards Middle School and High School students. Click here to find The Ridge on Facebook. Bobby grew up in Nebraska (this just proves that ANYONE can come to FreedomRidge) and has a Youth Ministry degree from Nebraska Christian College.
He's married to Jenny and they have two cool little boys. He loves Ford Mustangs and hoodies, especially hoodies with a picture of a Ford Mustang.
There are a whole host of volunteers that make FreedomRidge what it is, and it would be impossible to list them all. We'd like to, but it's a bummer we can't.
