Stan Bryant
Stan Bryant was raised on a farm near Burdett in Pawnee County, Kansas. He graduated from Pawnee Heights High School in 1968 and received an AA degree from St. John’s Lutheran College in Winfield, Kansas, in 1970. The following year, he transferred to Biola College in La Mirada, California, and pursued a Christian Education degree for two semesters. Later, he graduated from Rawhide Vocational College in California with training for western ranch youth camps. He then moved back to Kansas and farmed for 10 years with his father. Stan has been pastoring Rozel Christian Fellowship from 1985 to the present. He also drove a school bus for 28 years. He teaches hunter safety and has an outdoor sporting Christian Youth Group. Stan is currently president of the board for Heart of America Science Resource Center in Haviland, KS. He met Susan at St. John’s College and was married in 1973. They have two married daughters, one living in Texas and one in Montana, and 6 grandchildren. God led Stan to start a Creation Science Ministry about 19 years ago because widespread evolutionary teaching causes people to doubt their Christian faith.
