About Ryan

Ryan D. Cornett

I'm blessed to wear a few hats in life, though none as important as being husband to BreAnne and father to two wonderful daughters.

Since October 2019, I've been blessed to serve as a part-time elder at Manchester Baptist Church, a confessional, Southern Baptist church in eastern Kentucky. I teach, preach, plan and execute evangelistic efforts, structure the worship services, and lead the songs. By day I work in adult education.

Dear to my heart, of course, is hymn writing. Hymns have a unique way of blending rich theology with beautiful, memorable, singable music. My aim is to create songs that help people meditate on God's character, His Word, and His works. Writing hymns has been a way for me to worship, study, and express the truths I hold dear. If you or your church is blessed by one here, please let me know!

For fun I'm a weekend homesteader, web developer, and ham radio enthusiast. I love to grow peppers to make hot sauce, forage walnuts, build sites as resources for the church, and use Morse code to see where my simple wire antenna in a tree can reach. (The furthest so far is Italy!)

My prayer is that some of the resources available here—whether a hymn about justification, or one about repentance; a Bible plan generator; or online audio Bible—will bless you and be useful in your walk with the Lord. Soli Deo Gloria!
