Chris Tanner
SENIOR MINISTER
Chris and Andrea, his wife, met and began dating in High School. They moved to Georgetown from Southern Illinois in 2003 not really because its closer to God’s Country (Go Wildcats!), but because of the dedication of a few student ministry volunteers working on the youth environments during the largest snow storm of late December 2002. That snapshot of Georgetown Christian's heart for kids, students, and their families is expanding into a feature length film of God’s work in the lives of many families in the surrounding counties. Andrea currently works for IU School of Nursing and the National Association of School Nurses and enjoys walking, jogging, traveling, and speaking. Chris enjoy grilling and smoking meat, watching UK sports, and many aspects of the outdoors, but his favorite is kayaking. Their children Noah, Micah, Grace and often foster child(ren) attend Floyd Central High School, Highland Hills Middle School, and typically one of the local elementary schools. Together their family enjoys swimming, board games, traveling, and trips to visit the family. Email: ctanner@georgetownchristian.org
Roebin Tyler
TEACHING MINISTER
Roebin has been in ministry at Georgetown Christian since 1984. His best co-worker the entire time has been his wife, Rose! Roebin’s first ministry at GCC was working with children and youth. During this time, the church began participating in annual mission trips. Roebin was “instrumental” in forming the first praise team at GCC, and he led worship for over 25 years. He passed off ministry to children and youth and began his preaching ministry in 1996, which he continues to this day. Roebin currently leads the small group ministry and oversees the elective classes. Roebin and Rose have two daughters, Rochelle, and Rebekah, with two granddaughters belonging to Rochelle and Ryan, Rosemary and Rhiya, and a grandson, August, who belongs to Rebekah and Les. You will often find Roebin and Rose with a grandchild, eating out with friends, or trying to figure out how to get away to some ocean beach! Email: rtyler@georgetownchristian.org
