The Rev. Ryan Fleenor

Rector

Ryan Fleenor became the XII Rector of Saint Luke’s Parish in July 2020. Originally from Durham, North Carolina, Ryan came to Saint Luke’s after ten years as a priest at St. James’ Church, Madison Avenue, in New York City. He studied history at the University of Virginia, taught English literature at a Roman Catholic high school in New Orleans, and prepared for the priesthood at Yale Divinity School and Berkeley Divinity School at Yale.

Ryan is married to Daniel Noble, former federal prosecutor now in private practice in Stamford. Ryan and Dan met in graduate school and were married in 2012. They both love history, travel, music, and staying active.

As Rector (senior pastor and chief of staff), Ryan gets to be involved in nearly every aspect of life at Saint Luke’s, from preaching, teaching, pastoral care and leadership development, to budgets, administration and financial stewardship. As Rector, his focus is on creating a culture in which people of all ages can grow in faith and be equipped as disciples who will know, love, and follow Jesus.
