Tyler Heston called as Assistant Minister for Middle School
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I'm pleased to share that Tyler Heston has accepted an invitation to serve as Assistant Minister for Middle School at UCC. Tyler is beginning his first year at Brite Divinity School, where he will be pursuing a Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Tyler graduated in May from the University of Memphis with a degree focused on Religion in Society, and he received certification as a Nonprofit Professional from the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance. He has extensive experience working with middle school youth as a Sunday school teacher and mission trip sponsor at the large congregation where he grew up, and has spent summers interning with Mosaic Church in Chicago and the Friends of Jesus Fellowship & Ruth Ellis Center in Detroit. During college he connected with a Disciples congregation for the first time when he joined Kingsway Christian Church, where he served as a deacon.
Alison Nicoll will transition into the Assistant Minister for High School position, providing leadership for our 9th-12th grade youth. Tyler and Alison will share an office on the 3rd floor in Room 316, where Tyler can be reached by phone at extension 268 and via e-mail at tyler.heston@uccftw.com (though his e-mail won't be live until next week). Tyler will be joining us for the Youth Family Roundup, so be sure to introduce yourself to him this Sunday morning!
I want to offer special thanks to the youth and adults who helped with the process of interviewing Tyler for the Assistant Minister position: Mike Coffey, Jennifer Lanter, Maddy Putman, David Reeder, and Allison Ruiz. Your feedback and insights were invaluable!
Grace and Peace,
Russ
