Dr. Philip and Dr. Judy Byler

     The Bylers have been in Christian

Ministry together since the late 1960s.

They were marrried n 1964 while

Dr. Phil was in the U.S. Navy.

During that time they became involved

in youth and music ministry, leading

worship and working with youth groups.

     After receiving an Honorable Discharge in

1970,  they moved to North Georgia, where Dr. Phil

entered college. They continued in music ministry until Dr. Phil

was ordained as a Minister and they began pastoral work.

     For the next 45 years, they served a variety of churches, pioneering

new congregations and working to restore others which had fallen into

disrepair. Across the years of labor for the Lord, both of them

eventually earned a doctorate. Judy is a Doctor of Pastoral

Counseling and Phil's doctorate is in Religious Education.

     The Bylers are the parents of two married children, and the proud grandparents of seven. Their son Timothy is married to the former Cindy Westphal. Together, they pastor Connection Church in Hinesville, GA.  Their daughter Wendy is married to Todd Walters. They own and operate a production, design, and publications company in Keller, TX.

     Today, the Bylers again make their home in the mountains of North Georgia where they serve in the pastoral ministry of Trinity Church in McCaysville, GA.
