About Pastor Ryan

Dr. Ryan Nielsen was born in 1973 in Colorado.  He grew up in Longmont, Colorado. Ryan enjoyed choir and mastering magic, bowling, and foosball.  Ryan has loved Jesus as his Savior since he was a young boy. Through a series of painful bumps in the road, God shaped Ryan into a passionate follower of his Lord - serving a God, “...who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” [1 Timothy 2:4] God called Ryan into occupational ministry when he was a freshman in college. In 2010, Ryan graduated with his Doctor of Ministry degree in Youth and Family Ministries. Ryan served for 23 years as a Youth Pastor in various locations in the United States, Canada, and Denmark.   

In 2011, God called Ryan and his family to the town of Quincy, California. Then, in 2014, God opened the door for Ryan to become the Senior Pastor at Quincy Community Church. The motto for our church is “All Are Welcome.” Ryan imbues his leadership with Christ-like love and kindness. He guides the church with clear biblical teaching and tender compassion. There is not a judgemental bone in his body. He knows what it is to suffer and also the sweet companionship of Christ. He will never invalidate your experiences, but rather build you up in the Word of God.

Ryan is blessed to continue serving as Pastor at Quincy Community Church
