Ask him about Star Trek. Or Duke basketball. Or church history. Or Saint Benedict. 

Ask him about the innate lovability of humanity or the beauty of continual death in daily life.

Ask him about following Christ amid rejection, confusion, grief, pain. 

Father Bryan is the Assistant Rector at Christ Church Anglican in Savannah, Georgia, where he serves attentively, especially through his engagement with the students at Savannah's School of Art and Design. More broadly, Father Bryan serves his diocese as Canon for Leadership, shepherding those who are discerning a call to ordained ministry, while also helping to place new leaders into fellowships, curacies, internships, and open positions within local churches.

Fr. Bryan and his lovely wife, Laura McClain-Biba, have a house full of three bustling kiddos: Simeon, Adelaide, and Miryam. 

Whether it's practicing Ju-Jitsu or working my farm in British Columbia, I'm continually learning through the simplest acts of living and discovery. In fact, I was well into my 50's before a new chapter in my story opened and I embraced deeper depths of Christianity.

My core impulse is to create safe spaces for confession, change, and meaningful spiritual exploration. You see, I’ve experienced deep disappointment. I know how it seeps into every aspect of life, refusing to stay compartmentalized.  I’ve seen firsthand how our beliefs about God and ourselves can create barriers to growth and lead to frustration, anxiety, and impatience. But I also know that we’re not meant to navigate this journey alone, which is why I believe in the gift of coaching, not just in martial arts but in life and faith. My heart’s desire is to guide others through their spiritual journey, offering a compassionate ear and a steady hand as we explore the depths of faith together.
