Pastor Riley serves as the Lead Pastor of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Mitchell, South Dakota. A graduate student in seminary and a lifelong learner, Riley has a passion for teaching God’s Word in ways that are both theologically rich and easily understood. He believes ministry is about walking alongside people through every season of life—celebrating joys, carrying burdens, and helping others discover the hope we have in Jesus. Outside of church, Riley enjoys all things outdoors, writing, photography, and spending time with his wife, Caitlin, and their two children, Arleah and Colter. His heart is to see people grow in their faith, deepen their love for God and neighbor, and live out the Gospel in everyday life.
