Tyler is a Student Pastor and we love serving together!

Q: When did you attend NAOBC? What brought you to NAOBC?

A. All of my sweet memories have something to do with YC7. We met lifelong friends at NAOBC and enjoyed every moment!

A: I love the friendships that we made during our time at NAOBC. We also enjoyed Dr. Cook’s sermons and sometimes still stream services. Our time at NAOBC is a time that we will always treasure. Both Tyler and I grew so much spiritually and the habits and disciplines we learned during our time in Louisville are still very much a part of our lives now.
