Before coming to HCC, Matt served in youth ministry at another local church for many years. His vocational background also includes business and property management.

Matt graduated from New Oxford High School and then joined the family business. He did not go to college until truly sensing God's call on his life to enter ministry when he was in his 30’s. He graduated from Lancaster Bible College in 2013 with Bachelor of Science in Christian Life and Ministry with a focus in Youth Ministry. 

Tyler Fulton is originally from North Carolina and moved to Pennsylvania after retiring from the Marine Corps, and marrying his wife, Kathleen, whom he now has five children with. Tyler and his family began attending Hanover Community Church in 2019 after Tyler came to know Christ while studying the book of Exodus and feeling God’s calling on his life - a week later he quit his job in sales to pursue a degree that would lead to a roll where he could know more about God and serve him better.  

He is a graduate of Liberty University with a degree in the Bible with a focus in Apologetics. Since attending HCC, Tyler’s love of Christ and the Bible ultimately lead to him being discipled by Pastor Matt Miller from 2021-2023. 

Since that time, Tyler has served in Church Security, Children’s Ministry, Challenge Camp, Fusion, as Youth Ministry Intern, and is now our Youth Pastor, leading Fusion Youth Group. Tyler has a passion for working with our teen community in developing a relationship with Christ. He loves seeing them grow in morality and Christ-likeness through fellowship, worship, and Biblical understanding of who Christ is.
