First Baptist Church Youngsville

2 Corinthians 12:9 "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

When you're raised in a family of Oklahoma Sooner fans, chances are that you will become a fan as well.  Such is the case in First Baptist Church Youngsville's new Worship Leader/Children's Coordinator, Tyler Swift. Because his dad serves as a pastor, Tyler has been fortunate to have lived in various cities before his dad was called to serve on the staff at First Baptist Church Lafayette. As a result of living in Lafayette, Tyler attended UL Lafayette, receiving a degree in Business Management. Currently, Tyler is pursuing a degree in Master of the Arts in Worship Ministry, which he will complete in the fall of 2026.

Tyler and Kelly, his wife of nearly 2 years, reside in Lafayette and are expecting their first child in February. When Tyler received the call from our church, he and Kelly visited on Sunday (unbeknownst to our congregation) and were completely impressed with the friendliness and warmth shown to them by our members. He remarked that they continue to be embraced by our members with love, kindness, and support. Tyler has been our Worship Leader since the beginning of August and he has plans to expand the participation in various existing programs, such as the choir and the Praise Team, as well as developing new ones. 

Welcome to First Baptist Church Youngsville, Tyler and Kelly
