Ryan Scheibel

Senior Pastor

My name is Ryan Scheibel and I am the senior pastor of Water Brooks Church in Meridian, Idaho. I love serving Jesus with my beautiful bride, Shawna, and our three children. My vision for the life of our family is to know Jesus and make Him known!
I want to make sure I do my part in telling everyone I know about Jesus! I am overwhelmed with the love and grace God showed me and I want to share His love with others! God has put a burning desire in my bones to plant this church in Idaho and I love teaching others about God's love, truth & grace!
