Meet Our Pastors

Pastors Tyler and
Callie

Pastors Tyler and Callie have served Pleasant Ridge Church since September 2025. After receiving their calls to ministry, Pastor Tyler and Pastor Callie met and fell in love in Wilmore, Kentucky, when they were both attending Asbury Theological Seminary. They both graduated in May of 2019 and got married just two months later on the very campus where they met. After getting married, they’ve made Southern Indiana home and have felt called to serve in this area ever since. They have been blessed with two wonderful children who constantly keep them on their toes.

“We have both witnessed the ways Jesus has transformed our own lives and the lives of others. We are expectant for all the Holy Spirit will do through Pleasant Ridge and excited to serve His Kingdom alongside of you!”

Our Beliefs

We believe in God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen (Gen. 1:1-31; 17:1; Josh. 2:11; Ps. 8:3-8; Isa. 42:5; 1 Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:6; Heb. 1:5; Rev 4:11).

God is the one true, holy and living God, the Eternal Spirit, the Holy Trinity (Deut. 6:4; Lev. 19:2; Jer. 10:10; Matt. 28:19; John 17:3; Heb. 9:14).

God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct but inseparable, eternally one in essence and power (Luke 3:21-22; John 15:26; Acts 2:33; Rom. 8:9-11; 2 Cor. 13:13; Gal. 4:4-6; Eph. 2:18; Titus 3:4-6; Heb. 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:2).

God is infinite in power, wisdom, justice, goodness, and love (Job 12:13; 42:2; Ps. 89:14; 107:1; Isa. 55:9; Jer. 32:17; Matt. 19:26; Luke 1:37, 18:7; Rom. 5:8, 11:33-36, 16:27; 1 John 4:7-16).
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God (Mark 9:7; Matt. 3:17; John 3:16; Acts 2:36; Rom. 10:9; 1 Cor. 8:6; Phil. 2:11; Jude 1:4).

The Son is eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father (Luke 10:22; John 1:1, 14, 18; 8:12; 10:30; Phil. 2:6; Col. 1:15, 19; 2:9; Heb. 1:1-5).

Through Him all things were made (John 1:3; 1 Cor. 8:6; Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 1:2).

For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human (Matt. 1:18; Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1-2, 14; Rom. 1:3-4; Gal. 4:4; Phil. 2:6-8; 1 John 1:1-3, 4:2).

The Son of God and our Lord Jesus Christ are one person in whom the divine and human natures are perfectly and inseparably united (Isa. 9:6; Matt. 1:20-23; John 1:14, 14:9-11; Rom. 1:3-4; Col. 1:15-20; 1 Tim. 3:16; Heb 1:1-3).
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life (Isa 11:2; 61:1; 2 Cor. 3:17-18.; John 6:63; Rom. 8:11; Gal 6:8).

The Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified (Matt. 28:19-20; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 2:9-11; 3:16; Gal 4:6). He has spoken through the prophets (2 Sam. 23:2; Isa. 61:1-3; Zech 7:12; Matt. 1:22-23; Heb. 1:1-2; 1 Pet. 1:10-12; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).

He convinces the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (Mic 3:8; John 16:7-11).

The Spirit leads us through faithful response to the gospel into the fellowship of the Church (John 3:3-6; Rom. 8:9-17; Eph. 2:17-22; Titus 3:4-7).

He comforts, sustains and empowers the faithful and guides us into all truth (John 14:25-26; 16:12-15; Rom. 8:2-6, 12-17, 26-27; 1 Cor. 12:4-11; Gal. 5:16-25).
We believe the Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, reveals the Word of God so far as it is necessary for our salvation (Ps. 119:105, 130; Matt. 4:1-4; 2 Thess. 2:15; 2 Tim. 3:16-17).

The Holy Bible is to be received through the Holy Spirit as the true rule and guide for faith and practice (Prov. 30:5-6; Jas. 1:21-25; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; Jude 3).

Whatever is not revealed in or established by the Holy Scriptures is not to be made a requirement of faith nor is it to be taught as essential to salvation (Isa. 40:8; 2 Kgs. 17:15; Rom. 1:21; Eph. 4:17-18; Col. 2:8; 2 Tim. 3:16).
We believe humanity is fallen from righteousness and, apart from the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, is without holiness and inclined to evil (Gen. 6:5; Ps. 51:5; Eccl. 9:3; Jer. 17:9-10; Rom. 3:23; 5:12-14; Eph. 2:1-3; 1 John 1:8).

In our own strength, without divine grace, we cannot do good works pleasing and acceptable to God (Ps. 51:5; John 6:63; Rom. 7:14-24; Gal. 5:17; Eph. 2:1).

Influenced and empowered by the Holy Spirit, humans are responsible in freedom to exercise their wills for good (Gen. 2:16-17; Deut. 30:15-20; Josh. 24:14-15; 2 Chron. 7:14; Isa. 55:6-7; Matt. 16:24; Mark 1:17; John 1:12-13; 7:17; Rom. 10:8-9; 1 Cor. 10:13; 2 Pet. 3:9; Rev. 3:20).

We believe that all persons irrespective of their station or circumstances in life have been made in the image of God and must be treated with dignity, justice, and respect. We denounce as sin racism, sexism, and other expressions that unjustly discriminate against any person (Genesis 1-2, Deuteronomy 16:19-20, Luke 11:42, 19:9, Colossians 3:11).
God reconciles us to himself through the death of Christ upon the cross (Matt. 27:26, 50, 59-60; Mark 15:15, 37, 45-46; Luke 23:23-25, 46, 53; John 19:16, 30, 33-34, 38-42; Rom 3:21-26; 5:6-11; 1 Cor. 15:3-4).

God justifies, or accounts righteous, penitent sinners who confess faith in our Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:36; Rom 3:21-30; 4:6-8; 5:6-11; Eph. 1:7-14; 2:3-7; 5:5-10; Col. 3:5-17; 1 Thess. 5:8-10).

By salvation, we mean, more than the promise of eternal life, but a present deliverance from sin, a restoration of the soul to its original purity; a recovery of the divine nature; in righteousness and true holiness, in justice, mercy and truth (Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 5:22-25; Titus 2:11-12, 3:5; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:9, 2:2).

We are never made righteous inwardly nor accounted righteous before God through our works or merit (Luke 5:32; Rom. 3:21-30; 4:2-5; 11:6; Gal. 2:15-16; Eph. 2:8-10; Titus 2:14; 3:4-7; 1 John 1:9).
God's preventing (or prevenient) grace lightens the effects of original sin even before we are aware of our need for God (Deut. 4:37; 7:6-8; 14:2; Matt 5:45; Luke 15:20; John 6:44; 15:5; 2 Pet. 3:9; Titus 2:11-12).

Prevenient grace prevents the full consequences of our alienation from God and awakens conscience, giving an initial sense of God and the first inclinations toward life (Luke 24:45; John 6:37; 12:32; Acts 16:14; Rom. 8:7-8; 1 Cor. 2:14).

While in our bound and helpless state, preventing grace breaks through and enables genuine response to God's further grace (2 Kings 6:17, 20; John 16:8-11; Acts 2:37; 8:31; 15:8; 16:30).

God's convincing grace awakens in us a desire to flee the wrath to come and enables us to begin to fear God and work righteousness (Hos. 6:1; Mic. 4:1-2; Hab. 2:4; Zech. 8:20-23; John 16:8; Eph. 2:4-5; 2 Cor. 7:9-10; Heb. 13:18).

God's justifying grace works by faith to bring reconciliation to God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Isa. 53:4-6, 12; John 3:16; Rom. 5:10-11; 2 Cor. 5:18-19; Eph. 2:13-16; Col. 1:19-20; Heb. 2:17).

God's sanctifying grace cleanses us from sin in our thoughts, words and acts, and enables us to live in accordance with God's will (Ps. 51:2, 7-12; Jer. 31:31-34; Ezek. 36:25-27; Gal. 5:16-25; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:7, 9).
On the third day Jesus rose again in accordance with the Scriptures (Matt. 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-11, 36-43; John 20:1-17, 27; Acts 2:22-36; 1 Cor. 15:3-8, 1 Pet. 1:3).

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come (John 6:39-40; 11:25-26; Rom. 6:5-8; 8:22-23; 1 Cor. 15:20-23, 50-55; Phil. 3:10-12, 20-21; 1 Thess. 4:13-18).

The righteous rise to eternal life and the wicked to eternal condemnation (Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43; 25:31-46; John 5:25-29; Rev. 20:11-15; 21:1-8; 22:1-5).
We believe in one, holy, Christian, and apostolic church (John 10:16; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Eph. 4:4-6; 5:25-27; 1 Pet. 2:9-10; Rev. 5:9-10).

The Christian Church is the community of all true believers under the Lordship of Christ (Matt. 28:19-20; 1 Cor. 1:2-3; Eph. 2:11-22; Rev. 7:9-10).

It is the redemptive fellowship in which the Word of God is preached by those divinely called, and the sacraments are duly administered according to Christ's own appointment (Jer. 1:5; Acts 2:41-47; 1 Cor. 11:23-27).

Under the discipline of the Holy Spirit the Church exists for the purpose of worship, the edification of believers, and the redemption of the world (1 Cor. 12:27-28; 14:12; Gal. 6:1-2, 6-10; Eph. 4:11-16; Heb. 3:12-14; 10:23-25).
The Sacraments are symbols and pledges of the Christian's profession and of God's love toward us (Mark 14:22-24; Matt 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20; John 6:53-59; Acts 2:38; Gal. 3:27; 1 Cor. 10:15-17, 11:23-25).

They are means of grace by which God works invisibly in us, quickening, strengthening and confirming our faith in him (John 6:53-58; Rom. 6:3-4; 1 Cor. 10:15-17; Col. 2:12; 1 Pet. 3:20-21).

Two Sacraments are ordained by Christ our Lord, namely Baptism and the Lord's Supper (2 Kgs. 5:14; Isa. 44:3; Ezek. 36:25-27; Mark 14:22-24; Matt. 26:26-28; 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; John 3:5; 6:53-58; Acts 22:16).

Baptism signifies entrance into the household of faith and is a symbol of repentance and inner cleansing from sin, a representation of the new birth in Christ Jesus, and a mark of Christian discipleship (Acts 2:37-39; Rom. 6:1-5; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Gal. 3:27-28; Col. 2:11-14; Heb. 10:19-22).

We believe children are under the atonement of Christ and as heirs of the Kingdom of God are acceptable subjects for Christian Baptism (Luke 18:15-17; Acts 10:44-48; 16:15, 30-34; 18:8; 1 Cor. 1:16).

The Lord's Supper is a means of grace, a representation of our redemption, a remembrance of the sufferings and death of Christ, and a token of love and union which Christians have with Christ and with one another (Mark 14:22-24; Matt. 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20; John 6:53-59; 1 Cor. 10:16-17; 11:23-25; Gal. 3:27).
We believe that human sexuality is a gift of God that is to be affirmed as it is exercised within the legal and spiritual covenant of a loving and monogamous marriage between one man and one woman (Exodus 20:14, Matthew 19:3-9, Ephesians 5:22-33).

We are saddened by all expressions of sexual behavior, including pornography, polygamy, and promiscuity, that do not recognize the sacred worth of each individual or that seek to exploit, abuse, objectify, or degrade others, or that represent less than God's intentional design for his children (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:24, 1 Corinthians 6:9-20).
