Edward Bryan

Edward Joseph Bryan serves as the Evangelism Coordinator and Church Plant Coordinator for the Oklahoma Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Prior to his current role, he served in ministry within the Georgia-Cumberland Conference, the Northern New England Conference, and at the Evangelism Resource Center at SAU.

Pastor Bryan is a graduate of Southern Adventist University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Theology, and he also holds a Master of Pastoral Ministry degree from the Andrews University Theological Seminary.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, and born in Miami, Florida, Pastor Bryan comes from a Colombian family background and has been privileged to minister in diverse settings across North America—from large metropolitan cities, to medium size town and small rural communities, ranging from the Bible Belt to some of the most secular states in the country. Through God’s blessing, he has helped lead growing and multiplying churches in a variety of ministry contexts and now trains pastors and leaders throughout North America in the areas of church revitalization and evangelism. He has also preached evangelistically across the United States and internationally.

Pastor Bryan’s ministry is deeply shaped by his personal testimony of God’s grace. Having been delivered from a life marked by crime, addiction, and destructive vices, and having endured seasons of profound tragedy, he passionately shares the transforming power of Christ. He credits God with redeeming his life, restoring his purpose, and calling him to dedicate his gifts and energy to preparing hearts for the soon return of Jesus.

Above all, Pastor Bryan considers his greatest privilege to be a child of God, the husband of 20 years to his wife, Xinia, and father to Valeria and Xinia. He counts it an honor to serve in what he describes as his dream ministry assignment and remains committed to advancing the mission of the Gospel with passion, gratitude, and hope.
