A harbor is a sheltered body of water where ships can find safety from the turbulent waters of the open seas. It’s also a place where sailors can rest from their travels and renew their strength before being sent back out with goods to export all over the world. Our name reflects our desire to be a place of safety and sending, where people from Sarpy County’s surrounding communities find refuge from the storms of life as they are renewed by the gospel and sent back into their neighborhoods and networks to show and share the good news of Jesus, capturing our heart to become a hub of church planting for the entire county.

Our Pastors

Trevor Nashleanas – trevor@harborsc.org

As a graduate of Ralston High School, Trevor is no stranger to Sarpy County. He established a strong reputation in the community during his high school football career and maintains a number of relationships in the area. He played football at Northwest Missouri State where he met his wife, and eventually served as a chaplain for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Trevor served as the City Groups Director at Citylight West for two and a half years where he and his family have been members since 2022. He is pursuing a degree in apologetics and philosophy from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and his career as both a college football chaplain and a youth pastor make him a strong candidate for a church plant in a community devoted to youth sports, family, and education. Trevor excels at communication and leadership development. He will bring vision and strategy to Harbor Church. 

Ryan Meyer – ryan@harborsc.org

Ryan is a veteran college athlete, gifted relationship builder, and an innovative leader with an entrepreneur’s mind and a shepherd’s heart. He grew up in the suburbs of West Omaha before moving to Maryville, Missouri to play football at Northwest Missouri State where he studied Business Management and met his wife, Kelsey. For the past eight years, he’s put his talents to good use at Coram Deo Church, where he served as the Pastor of Connections and Membership. He also completed seminary at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2018. His career as a college athlete, business experience, suburban upbringing, and love for the outdoors make Sarpy County an ideal fit for a church planter like him. Ryan excels at discipleship, community development, and mercy ministry. He will bring hospitality, shepherding, and leadership to the Harbor Church community. 

Our Dream

• We dream of a church where nominal Christians become fully devoted disciples of Jesus through a non-ignorable movement of the gospel that brings renewal to the entire region. 

• We dream of a church that prioritizes spiritual formation through a counter-formative network of small groups that emphasize discipleship in the context of biblical community. 

• We dream of a historic Christian church that embraces the creeds, confessions, liturgies, and hymns of the Reformed, Protestant tradition. 

• We dream of a church that engages Sarpy County with the gospel through Christians who live as a faithful presence among their various relational networks. 

• We dream of thousands of disillusioned skeptics awakened to a life of vibrant faith through Christians who live out the gospel in wise and winsome ways. 

• We dream of a church that has a reputation for theological clarity, relational beauty, and historic Christianity.

• We dream of a church that helps all people flourish by pursuing the common good. 

• We dream of becoming a regional hub for church planting that will renew and transform the entire county through autonomous local churches that operate as harbors of safety and sending in each of Sarpy County’s local communities.

• We dream of exporting the gospel around the world by discipling, developing, and deploying men and women for global missions through church planting.
