Meet Ryan and Emily

We are Ryan and Emily Baker and this is our family! We have a passion to grow in our walk with Christ and guide others in their journey! We were both raised in Edmond, Oklahoma and have landed back in Stillwater! We had adventures in full-time ministry in Japan for a year, in St, Louis, MO for Ryan’s Masters at Covenant Seminary, in Ft. Collins, CO working with RUF for six years and in Stillwater, OK at Grace PCA. We trained individually with the Allender Center 2018-2022 and increasingly saw God’s calling on our lives. Story Matters was launched in the Spring of 2022!
