Jeff Ryder
Senior Pastor
Jeff Ryder was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. After various forms of schooling, he and his wife, Joy, have been involved in missionary service for 24 years with New Tribes Mission (18 years in the country of Papua New Guinea). At present he is an associate representative for New Tribes Mission. This will enable him to still challenge folks for tribal missionary work, while permit the flexibility he needs as Senior Pastor of First Evangelical Free Church.
Jeff and Joy have three children — Jordan, Grant & Lindsay.
