Ryan Baye joined OUUC in the spring of 2017, finding a spiritual home after giving up a Lutheran heritage and believing he would never find a place of worship that both encourages questions and personal exploration and allows for doubt. In the past eight years, he has engaged in several roles: co-chairing a Young Adult group and serving on the 2018 Ministerial Search Team, Rev. Mary’s Transition Team, and, currently, the Tech Team. Ryan participates in congregational activities as his job allows, including the OUUC Dungeons and Dragons group, founded by Rev. Eric during COVID, and as a “strong back” during BBB. Outside OUUC, Ryan is the legislative director for an agricultural, natural resource, and environmental nonprofit. He enjoys books, baseball, board games, and baking.
