Tucker’s roots at Mansfield 1st run deep. He was baptized here as an infant and raised within this church community. Christ called him to faith when he was eleven years old at a church camp. While his journey has faced its share of challenges, Tucker views those moments as God’s “continual pruning” to produce greater fruit in his life. After some time away, he and his family returned to the congregation five years ago. Every day, Tucker continues to grow in his understanding of who God is and his complete reliance on Jesus Christ as his Savior.
Tucker is honored to serve our church in several leadership capacities:
- Clerk of Session: He maintains our minutes and records, serving as a link between our congregation, the Ohio Presbytery, and the larger denomination.
- Worship Committee Chair: His focus is on maintaining the structure of our services and helping our church family deepen their understanding of what it means to worship.
- Mission Oversight: He helps guide our resources to best support our mission partners at the local, national, and international levels.
Tucker has been blessed to be married to his wife, Jennifer, for over 20 years. They share a busy home with their four daughters and a variety of pets, including two cats, a rabbit, and a turtle. Outside of his professional and church life, Tucker is an avid reader of theology and history. He also enjoys cooking, listening to classical and jazz music, and finding time for long walks or the occasional nap.
“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience…And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” – Colossians 3:12-15
