Round Table Discussions & Main Sessions
Doug has a passion for Jesus, students, and youth ministry. Doug believes the church is the best place for students to stretch their leadership muscles and grow.
Doug studied Christian Education at Wheaton College and has served in a few churches and as a youth pastor – but it all started when he fell in love with youth ministry as a junior high small group leader.
As a youth pastor he noticed that every time he put students in charge, the youth ministry increased. Naturally, he began looking for tools to help me develop my young leaders, but found none. That’s when God laid on my heart a desire to make leadership development resources for youth ministry. In 1994, he started LeaderTreks as a response to that burden.
Today LeaderTreks Youth Ministry offers trips, leadership training, and curriculum all focused on making disciples and developing leaders.
Tyler Murphy
Whether the event or gathering is 15 people or 15,000, Tyler’s goal is to bring the same passion and energy to help facilitate and create an environment where people can encounter God in a tangible way. Starting in 8th grade, he has led both locally and across the country in a variety of venues, from churches and Disciple Now weekends to Christ In Youth MOVE Conferences and youth camps. He has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with For King & Country, Newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Big Daddy Weave, and many others.
He currently lives in Leander, TX with his wife Caitlin, their two children, and the family dog, Jonesy. Since 2015, Tyler has served as Worship Pastor at Highpoint Fellowship in Cedar Park, TX.
