Tyler Barrett
Tyler is married to Jenny and has two daughters. In 2022, they started attending OAC after looking for a local place so their girls would have more connection opportunities outside of Sunday morning. By the fall of that same year, Tyler was serving on the Welcome Team, and they never looked back. He has served faithfully on the Welcome Team, the Men's Ministry Team, and the Chair Set-up Crew. Tyler enjoys building relationships and encouraging others in their walk with Christ, and he is excited about the opportunity to continue serving the OAC family as a member of the Board of Elders
