Ryan Grabill is the lead pastor at Sound House Church. He and his wife Anna have four children: Beau, Ava, Sophia and Jackson. Their life together began in Grand Rapids, Michigan where they met and got married. Ryan began his career in ministry in 2000 as a youth pastor and has since held positions from youth pastor to executive team pastor in five churches across four different states. In 2013, they felt the call to move to Long Beach and plant a local church with the hopes to meet the needs of the community. With this simple mission in mind, God has established the church they always dreamed to have the privilege of leading. The community of Sound House has become their California family and has been a huge blessing in their lives. The Grabills enjoy doing life together as a family and they enjoy bike rides, board games, and eating dinner together as a family. Being a transplant in new state has it’s challenges for any family but it’s the friendships through Sound House that have made Long Beach feel like home. Ryan is currently attending Antioch Seminary.

Our goal: We gather to continually grow in and reflect the light of Christ in the world around us.
GROW
