About Tyler
Tyler moved to Kingwood in 2017 from north Texas with her husband, Lon, and their 3 sons. She’s been privileged to move around the country, primarily Texas, and most recently landing in Kingwood. God has used all the places and people over the years to prepare her to serve in Women’s Ministry for this season. Tyler has worked and served in ministry for most of her adult life. She accepted Christ as a young girl, and has seen the faithfulness of God all through her life. Tyler wants all women to know and love the God of the Bible for themselves. She struggled for many years to learn how to follow God. It was a battle and she never thought she was good enough for God. Looking back now, Tyler’s been able to see that it has been a multitude of small steps all pointed and directed by God. She wants women to understand that knowing God changes who we are forever when we choose to walk with Him. Tyler and family love Woodridge and pray that everyone finds it to be a place they can rest, grow, love and serve.
