TYLER R. STAUFFER (CH CPT) ARMY

Tyler writes, “As a follower of Jesus, He led me to the military over 10 years ago. Through those years of service, I grew to love Soldiers and became a sort of pastor-in-the-ranks as I served as a Combat Medic. After 5 years God called me to a more intentional, large-scale ministry in the Chaplain Corps. I commissioned as a Chaplain Candidate in 2015 and accessed to chaplain in 2019. I love Soldiers, and I long for them to hear and understand the Gospel. My goal is to exemplify Christ to them and be a catalyst for redemptive community in the military, as God has called me to do, for his glory.” Along with Military chaplaincy, Tyler is the Associate Pastor of Oakdale Evangelical Free Church in Meriden, Iowa. He completed his M. Div. at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in December 2018. He is married to Brielle, and they have 3 children.
