Pastoral Resident
Originally from Palm Bay, Florida, Tyler came to Gainesville to study at the University of Florida, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Though he was familiar with the teachings of Jesus growing up, it was not until his senior year at UF that he came to hear and believe the gospel, a few months into reading the accounts of Jesus’ life. He was drawn to City Church soon after this because of their Christ-centered community and vision for being in downtown Gainesville.
While at UF, Tyler was a part of the campus ministry called Cru. After graduating, Tyler served on staff with Cru, discipling college students and equipping them on how to share the good news of Jesus. Currently serving as a Pastoral Resident for the church, he focuses on discipleship, evangelistic outreach, and community engagement initiatives. He enjoys playing all kinds of sports and learning about anything related to people, philosophy, or the gospel.
