                      Wednesday, February 28, 2024

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a special man, Reverend 
Dr. Keith G. Tyler, Sr. from Lexington, Kentucky. His church, Antioch 
Missionary Baptist Church, is celebrating Reverend Tyler's 25th 
anniversary as their pastor.
  Reverend Tyler professed a hope in Christ as a child and was baptized 
at the age of eight by the late Rev. A.D. Jones in Louisville, KY. He 
was called to preach the Gospel in 1985 and went on to be licensed and 
ordained. Reverend Tyler accepted the call to serve as pastor at 
Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in 1998. Under his leadership, 
membership has more than tripled. He encourages the delivery of God's 
word in a variety of methods, including a feed-the-homeless effort, a 
neighborhood bazaar and community festival, a Women's Conference, and 
Children's Church. He launched a live radio broadcast in 2022. He is a 
motivating speaker, an inspiring preacher, and an innovative leader. He 
enjoys traveling across the nation evangelizing.
  Reverend Tyler is an active leader in the community. He serves many 
organizations, including the Speigel Hill Community Center, the Black 
Faith Leaders of Lexington and Vicinity, and the Central KY Council for 
Peace and Justice. In addition, he is a trustee of Simmons College of 
Kentucky, and he serves on the Community Police Chaplain ``Response 
Team.'' He is the proud father and grandfather of four children and 
three grandchildren.
  Reverend Tyler is to be commended for his ministry over 25 years at 
Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. I congratulate him and all the 
members of the congregation and wish them many more years of serving 
our Lord. I am honored to recognize Reverend Dr. Keith Tyler before the 
United States Congress.
