Pastor Tyler was raised in a Christian home, always under the faithful teaching and preaching of the Word of God. He made a profession of faith in Christ at the young age of 6, but attributes that “decision” largely to peer pressure in a Sunday school class. At the age of 12, the Lord truly opened Tyler's eyes, and he became fully aware of his need for a Savior. It was at that point that he trusted by grace, through faith, in the finished work of Jesus Christ as the full and satisfactory payment for his salvation! He was baptized the following Sunday.

Tyler served as one of the leaders in a small home church for three years prior to moving to Taylor, Arizona in November of 2013. After serving for 5 years as Associate Pastor at Ponderosa Bible Church in Eagar, AZ, he followed the Lord's call to plant OneLife Bible Church in December of 2019.

Tyler has a contagious passion for the Word of God and takes his responsibility to 'rightly divide the word of truth' (2 Timothy 2:15) very seriously.

He and his wife, Heather, were married in November of 2000 and have six amazing children.
