Our Leaders

Tyler Brown is the planting pastor of Great Exchange church. Being raised outside the church, he came to saving faith in Jesus during high school through the witness of a house church Bible study. After a career as a middle and high school English teacher (first in Smyrna and then in Philadelphia), he became a campus minister, joining InterVarsity staff in 2016. After nearly a decade serving students in parachurch ministry, he discerned God’s leading to see a local church planted at the intersection of the community and the campus. 

Tyler holds a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary, a Master’s Degree in School Leadership from Wilmington University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary English Education from the University of Delaware. He is married to Nicole, and they have six children: Isaac, Nya, Zechariah, Zipporah, Ezekiel, and Zwingli. Tyler loves rough-housing with his kids, reading, playing guitar, talking NBA, and exploring local cities.
