Attendance and Worship Style
The average attendance of our Sunday morning worship is approximately 120 people. The format of our worship is what might be termed as "traditional," meaning we use a piano, organ, and sing from The Baptist Hymnal. We offer age-graded Sunday school, with co-ed, men's, women's, and college/career classes available. We also have Sunday school for children from toddlers to high school age. On Wednesday nights, RA and GA programs are available for elementary school children.

Bible
The preaching passage on Sunday mornings is nearly exclusively from the New Testament, and Sunday evening preaching comes from the Old Testament. Wednesday night service is devoted to prayer and study of the Psalms. In this way, we believe we are declaring "the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). Brother David preaches from the New King James version, the same translation that can be found in the pews.

Facilities
Our facilities are brand new -- and by that we mean that the first service was held on June 26, 2011. Our previous building was destroyed by an arsonist in 2010. Our new building has the feel of a comfortable warm church, with all the modern technology of the 21st century. We love our new space and feel extremely blessed to occupy it. We think you'll feel the same. (See our "Before and After" page to get the whole picture!)

Ministries
Tyland Baptist also has a vibrant women's ministry, WMU, men's ministry, college-age ministry, children's ministry, and Missions Team. We are very concerned about world, state, and local missions. We support the IMB and the NAMB through the Southern Baptist Convention, and spend much time in prayer, study, and missions awareness.

Staff
The Reverend D.E. Mahfood serves as pastor of Tyland Baptist. Brother Mahfood holds a Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and has preached from various pulpits for seven years. He is a "serial expositor" who takes the Word of God seriously, and presents it in a way that is easily understandable without compromising the intent of the biblical authors.

Nancy Wiggins is the Church Secretary/Ministry Assistant. Nancy has served the church for many years, and a nicer person you will not easily find. She performs a variety of functions at Tyland, and is the first person you will probably speak to when you call.

Lee Richards is our Song Leader and is responsible for our choir, special music, and special singing fellowships. Most recently, Lee also served as chairman of the Rebuild Committee, with which he did an inspired job! Lee is also an accomplished guitar player, often performing the special music during worship.
