Student & Family Ministry Leaders

These mentors are humble, effective student ministry leaders (or former student ministry leaders) from our Church Forward network.

They have served faithfully with character and impact over time. Each one is excited and ready to share their time, hearts and experience with you.

To make the most of your strategic mentor connection, we encourage you to do the following before you make your first call.

  • Review the purpose and approach of strategic mentoring on the “About” page of this website. Strategic mentoring is NOT long-term mentoring but rather a strategic conversation around your current challenge or question.
  • Prepare your thoughts & questions using the Mentee reflection questions found in the “Resource” section.
Then, by all means, chose a mentor and make your call!

Pastor Ty’s mission is to help people build a biblical foundation for life long ministry. His heart is for reaching people, but my gifting has been in teaching and helping ministries get back on their feet. Ty doesn’t teach so people will just know, but that people would go and make disciples. Working in churches as small as 8 older ladies to thousands, single to multi- site, he has experience in many church settings on how to effectively disciple the next generation. Ty took a special interest in helping smaller churches develop effective children’s ministries. He specializes in turning ministries around, family ministry strategy, biblical peacemaking, and helping people define their purpose in life. Ty has been married to his better half, Kelly for 21 years (as of 2023), and they have two sons Jadon & Gavin who are in high school.
