Meet the Team

  • Juliet San Nicolas de Bradley is an artist, speech and language pathologist, and candidate for Holy Orders in the Anglican Church of North America. She is currently studying for her MDiv at Fuller Seminary. She is passionate about Christ-followers working together to bring Christ’s liberation, rest, and love to the world. Juliet is a full-time preschool speech and language pathologist with Merced City School District, specializing in bilingual and autism assessments. She is also co-founder for the non-profit, Art For The Isolated. Recently, Juliet and her husband, Ryan, welcomed two children into their family. In her free time, Juliet loves reading, dancing, playing piano, yoga, and all manner of fiber-art crafts. 


  • Ryan Bradley is a pastor, spiritual director, and teacher.

    He loves helping people understand God and His Kingdom. He also loves helping people individually discover God's presence, work, and calling in their lives. He loves watching communities grow as they focus on God's calling. He has always been passionate about learning and spiritual formation, but he has experienced a growing commitment to justice and community transformation.

    Ryan's past work includes pastoring St. Luke's Anglican Church in Merced for 8 years and serving as an Associate Professor at Biola University's Torrey Honors College. He is a Staff Associate for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship's Graduate and Faculty Ministry. He trained in spiritual direction as part of the inaugural class of the Institute for Spiritual Formation and has been practicing direction since 2004. His academic work has mainly been in the theology, history, and practice of Christian spirituality.

    He left his previous pastoral role to co-found the Micah Project based on a conviction that Merced needed a church, community, and ministries that do not yet exist. He felt discouraged by his own experiences and observations of churches and Christians, but believed that God is calling us to be and to offer more. He is amazed that God's calling for us is radical and counter-cultural, but also gentle and kind. It is a calling to die to ourselves and a calling to finally and fully live.

    Some of his favorite things to do include spending time with Juliet and their two children, walking their dog, drinking coffee or tea, and doing just about anything book-related (reading, listening to audiobooks, buying books, looking at books to buy, looking at the books in his home library).

Churches for the Sake of Others

The Micah Project is a church and ministry within Churches for the Sake of Others.

The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO) is an Anglican diocese built on five key values: Kingdom, Spirit, Formation, Mission, Sacrament.

C4SO began as a church planting movement in 2009 and is part of the Anglican Church in North America. In diverse contexts, we seek to develop ministry from the mission field back—contextualizing our tradition for a given ministry setting.

Our churches offer a diversity of worship experiences—from very traditional vestments, music and liturgy to a much more relaxed and contemporary vibe. Some of us worship in traditional church buildings and others find homes in storefronts, schools, civic centers, theaters, and more. We celebrate, not criticize, Spirit-led variety. Our only measuring sticks are faithfulness to Jesus and fruitfulness aligned to the kingdom he preached.

As a diocese, we seek to establish outposts of Jesus’ person, word and power in the midst of a struggling humanity. We want to create a family of churches that evermore perfectly lives into God’s intention for the Church by finding our core meaning as ambassadors or embassies of the rule and reign of God. We also want to foment “the journey inward and the journey outward” (Elizabeth O’Connor); the come-ness of followership and transformation and the sent-ness of mission.
