Tyler Thompson—Senior Pastor
|
While he was in college Tyler began serving as NEBC's
youth pastor. He became a full-time staff member in
2000. On January 25, 2009, the NEBC membership welcomed
him as NEBC's new senior pastor.
About his call to ministry Pastor Tyler writes:
God has
allowed me to be surrounded by ministry my entire life.
Having a pastor/father in a home no doubt exposed me to
the heart and guts of ministry and church work from an
early age. Seeing my father pour his life into ministry
eventually rubbed off on my life and I began to develop
the same desires and passions. I am certain that God
allowed me to grow up in the family I did to help
instill in me the desire for ministry.
My
spiritual gifts are teaching, shepherding, serving, and
exhortation—gifts that help to confirm my call to
ministry. Without these specific gifts, I believe it
would be hard to justify a man being able to capably
lead the flock. I also believe my calling is genuine
because of the great satisfaction and contentment that
result from serving.
In short, I have a deep inner longing—a compulsion—to
serve in the ministry!
