Meet Our Staff:
Rev. Dr. Tyler Domske
Pastor
Prior coming to WCPC as pastor in 2016, Tyler had served four years as Associate Pastor for Youth & Families at Northmont Church in Pittsburgh's north hills, and four years as Associate Pastor for Youth at First Presbyterian Church of Mooresville, North Carolina. He is a graduate of Westminster College (BA in History, 2002) and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary (Masters in Divinity, 2008), and completed his doctoral degree through UDTS in 2017. The focus of his doctoral thesis is the relationship between how a church identifies itself and its function in relation to how a church educates itself: if we don't know who we are, how can we know what we are called to do? Prior to seminary, Tyler taught history and social studies in public schools in, Pennsylvania, Florida, and greater Chicago.
Tyler is deeply focused on seeking God and learning more about God each day. Of particular interest is finding signs of God in our everyday life - within the culture and the media that we consume - allowing our faith to permeate our every day life rather than being cordoned off into subsets that never interact. Essentially, cultivating a faith that is real and is not threatened by our Monday to Saturday life, but flourishes in it. Tyler has three children and a menagerie of pets.

Andrew joined the WCPC staff in spring of 2018 as our Director of Music, heading up all the music of the church, including the choir, bells ensemble, and worship music at both the traditional and contemporary services.

He is a published composer and currently holds the title of principle viola in the Washington Symphony Orchestra, for which he is also the Principal Arranger.
