UPCOMING SPEAKER

Rev. Preston Tyler

March 4

Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Rev. Preston Tyler, Pastor at Hill Street Baptist Church, and a driving force in the establishment and growth of Roanoke Justice Ministries (formerly Faith Works). He will talk about the call-to-action that led to the formation of RJM and how the interdenominational and interfaith organization is working to provide a unified voice addressing urgent needs of underserved communities in the Valley.

Preston is a lifelong Virginian born in Charlottesville who has lived in Roanoke since 2020. He studied at Liberty University and the Richmond Virginia Seminary. He previously held positions at several churches in the Alleghany region. He was recognized as the “Pastor of the Year” by the Virginia Baptist Convention in 2019-20 and has served in a variety of leadership roles within that organization.
