Ryan Pawlowski

Board Term Ending 2027.  Ryan and his soon-to-be husband, Austin, joined First Church in 2022, shortly after beginning to attend services. Raised in Cleveland in a Polish and Irish Catholic household and educated in Catholic Schools his entire life, he was incredibly excited to have found a diverse and inclusive spiritual home that he could bring his whole queer atheist humanist self to. He quickly jumped into a role as Worship Associate Team Co-Chair and began Adult Spiritual Development through the Buddhist Study Group, UU Wellspring, and Paul Tillich Study Group. Outside of church, Ryan is an IT Project Manager, avid yoga practitioner, smart home guru, and politically active with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin & the Human Rights Campaign.
