Ethan has been a part of the Church on the Move family for over 30 years and has led a variety of teams including kids, students, and pastoral ministry. He comes from a large family and loves the process of making a church feel like a home! He is passionate about including as many new people as possible in this growing family.

While attending Oral Roberts University, Ethan met his wife Sarah, and they quickly started serving at Church on the Move together. The Vanses have two sons: Owen and Wyatt. Together, they love any kind of competition and cheering hard for the OKC Thunder and Dallas Cowboys.

Ethan is a gifted communicator, teaching in a creative and humorous style that will make you laugh hard and, hopefully, think even harder. He loves helping people find grace inspired ways to apply truth in everyday life.
