Lead Pastor

Tyler M. McKinney

​

​

Tyler McKinney grew up in Pasadena, Texas, where his parents ran a street ministry called "Youth on the Rock." At the beginning of high school his family moved to Pearland, where he graduated in 2006. During that time Tyler began to experience God's calling into ministry under former Shadycrest Youth Pastor Clint Gray.

​

Tyler attended East Texas Baptist University, where he majored in History and minored in Christianity. The Lord continued to pursue Him in an undeniable way after college as he sought a teaching career. He knew, however, that nothing short of total surrender to the call of ministry would satisfy what the Lord had anchored in his heart. He became a licensed minister in 2011 at Shadycrest Baptist Church.

​

In 2012, Tyler married his high school sweetheart Lindsey (Netherland). They have four boys Cooper, Case, Corban, and Caleb.

​

Tyler began to volunteer as youth Pastor at Shadycrest and a year after that, he was asked to take on the title Interim Youth Pastor. At the time he was a teacher in Pasadena Independent School District. He is excited to have the opportunity to serve Shadycrest as Lead Pastor. Tyler believes that the vision that God has given them is divinely appointed and aligned. He is extremely eager to help equip the people of Shadycrest to do what God has called them to do in their lives and to help them fulfill the great commission.

​

Tyler received his Master's degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in May 2020.
