Vocal Music Teacher

Mr. Ryan Weathers
My name is Ryan Weathers. I am very excited to be joining the
teaching team at Ankeny Christian Academy as the BG-12th vocal music
teacher. From a young age, God gave me a love of music. Growing up
in Moville Iowa, I attended Woodbury Central schools and knew even
then I wanted music to be a part of my life.
I went to Wayne State College and earned a degree in music
education. After college, I married my high school sweetheart and we
moved to Chicago where I began to teach vocal music. We relocated
several times over the next five years because of my wife’s career. It
gave me the opportunity to work at different kinds of public and private
schools. From small town to large inner city school districts, I enjoyed
each school and gained a variety of experiences.
It was in Ankeny that we found our home. During our time in
Ankeny, our small family quickly became a large family. In 2006, after
our twins were born, I put teaching on hold to become the primary
caregiver of what would become six children. Throughout my time at
home, I was surrounded by other strong Christians. I knew the Gospel
in my head, but it was through prayer and study of the Bible that the
Holy Spirit moved my heart. Grace was able to break through and I now
know the amazing unwarranted gift of Jesus Christ.
In 2018, our children left Ankeny Community Schools and enrolled
in Ankeny Christian Academy. When our youngest child enrolled in
Kindergarten, I began serving as a substitute teacher at ACA. It was an
eye opening experience. In all my different teaching jobs, I had never
seen a place where a person’s beliefs didn’t have to be ignored for fear
of offending other students. ACA is a place where a student’s academic
needs and spiritual needs could both be nurtured and celebrated.
As someone who has never experienced Christian schools before,
this is the missing piece for me. As a music teacher, being able to say
God gave each of us our own unique voice for the purpose of glorifying
Him is wonderful. The teaching jobs in the past felt like just that, a job.
This position is a calling. It is an honor to teach music for God, and I
pray that my work will honor Him.
