Jerrill Wyler
Senior Pastor
Pastor Jerrill Wyler began serving as Senior Pastor of Wayside Chapel in September of 2021. Pastor Wyler was born in Ashland, OH but did not spend much time there growing up because his family traveled in itinerant evangelism throughout his childhood and youth, making Wayside a frequent stop in their ministry travels. Pastor Wyler graduated from Pensacola Christian College in 2008 with a B.A. degree in Youth Ministries and from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2020 with a M.A. in Christian Studies. From 2010-2021, Pastor Wyler served as the Associate Pastor of Port Saint Lucie Bible Church in Port St. Lucie, FL. Pastor Wyler and his wife Andrea (originally from Georgia) have four boys: Bryson, Elijah, Gideon, and one on the way. Together they desire to see Wayside Chapel, Wayside Christian School, and the surrounding communities “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

Anita and her husband Larry are both servants to Christ and His church and are important partners in the work of the gospel at Wayside Chapel.
