Welcome to Tyler
Search creates space for adults in Tyler to explore questions about life, faith, purpose, and God through honest conversation without pressure or judgment.
Led by Area Director Johnny Russell, Search Tyler brings people together through genuine relationships and meaningful conversations, helping people explore what they believe and take a next step toward God at their own pace.
Good questions deserve more than quick answers.
Search happens where life already happens—over coffee, around a table, one-on-one, or in a small group. You do not need to know what you believe, have your life figured out, or know what you are supposed to say.
Our staff listen, ask thoughtful questions, and make room for honest conversation about the things that matter most. Since Search came to Tyler in 2024, Johnny and the local team have been building trusted relationships throughout the community and creating places where adults can explore faith openly and honestly.
If you have questions, want to join a conversation, or simply want to meet someone from Search, we’d love to connect.

What we're doing in Tyler
-
Forums
Group gatherings where any question is welcome. Forums create an opportunity to explore life’s biggest questions about God, meaning, suffering, and purpose.
-
Follow-Up
One-on-one conversations that often grow out of Forums. Follow-Up provides space to listen, reflect, and explore questions at a personal pace in the context of a trusted relationship.
-
Foundations
Group conversations designed to explore who God is and what it means to know him personally. Foundations offers a thoughtful and relational look at Jesus and the core truths of the Christian faith.
-
Formation
Formation is for those who want to continue growing in their faith and learn to share it naturally through everyday relationships. It focuses on spiritual growth, relational wisdom, and living faith in community.
