Tyler Runcorn

Lead Pastor | Elder

Where are you from?
Springfield, Missouri

Tell us about your family...
I have been happily married to my wife, Hollie, for 8 years. Together we have two wonderful daughters: Emma and Eden. We welcomed our first daughter, Emma, through the miraculous beauty of adoption in April of 2020. We welcomed our second daughter, Eden, through the more common - but no less miraculous - beauty of childbirth in August of 2023.

What excites you about what you do?
I love seeing people transformed by the power of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit. To be a part of shepherding Jesus' precious Church is a calling and dream for which I'm so grateful. I particularly love equipping God's people through preaching and teaching.

What's your vision for the future of Abide Church?
I see Abide Church continuing to grow as a community of missional disciples who love people with the power of the Gospel.
