Meet the Reverend Ryan Kuratko
A native of Lubbock, Texas, the Rev. Ryan Kuratko is often described as a compassionate, caring, spiritual, quick learner, close listener, clear communicator, and emotionally mature person – far beyond his age.Ryan graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary in 2006, receiving a
Master in Divinity (cum laude with honors). Prior to that, he received a degree in philosophy with departmental honors from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
He was ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Northwest Texas and served at St. Paul’s-on-the-Plains, in Lubbock. After one year as associate rector, he became priest-in-charge.
In 2007, Ryan married the Rev. Lauren Kuratko, an Episcopal priest originally from the Diocese of Alabama. Together, along with Hannah, their faithful standard poodle, they moved to Richmond for Lauren's call to serve as assistant rector at Grace and Holy Trinity.Ryan brings to us many talents, among them a relaxed, engaging personality, an easy grace with all age groups, and a pastor’s heart. Ryan would add that his other gifts include his sporadically terrific cooking and his downright mediocre mandolin playing, both of which bring him great joy.
He is called by God to serve the church as a collaborative leader
with clarity of purpose; ability to teach, lead and empower; kindliness
and insight; awareness of tradition, and openness to change. If you would like to talk with Ryan, please contact him at iocrector(at)verizon.net or call the church office at 779-3454.
