Lead Pastor
Tyler 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 Client Gray. ​

Tyler attended East Texas Baptist University where he majored in History and minored in Christianity. The Lord continued to pursue Tyler 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. Tyler became a licensed minister in 2011 at Shadycrest Baptist Church. 

​

In 2012, Tyler married his high school sweethart, Lindsay (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 of Interim Youth Pastor. At the time, he was a teacher in the Pasadena Independent School District. He is excited to have the opportunity to serve Shadycrest as the 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 fulfill the great commission.

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