Meet the Gilstrap Family

Kyle was born and raised in southwest Indiana and grew up in a Christian home. At 9 years old, he recognized his need for a Savior and got saved at a small Christian camp in southern Indiana on June 17, 1999. As a young man, Kyle began to seek God's will for his life, and at 14 years old he surrendered his life to preach the gospel. After his training at West Coast Baptist College, God led Kyle to serve as a youth pastor for a few years before eventually directing him into the ministry of evangelism.

Tressa was born and raised in Whitehall, Montana. On January 3, 2000, Tressa realized she was a sinner and called upon the Lord to save her. She likewise surrendered her life to the Lord and God led her to attend West Coast Baptist College where she graduated with a major in Elementary Education. 

Following Bible college, Tressa and Kyle were married on August 6, 2011. Today they have three beautiful children, Jayce, Kynoa, and Jaxon. God has blessed and after traveling across the nation for 4 years serving the Lord through the ministry of Evangelism, God led Kyle to Pastor Whitehall Baptist Church. Kyle enjoys sports, the great outdoors, and anything with his family. He’s a passionate Indiana Hoosier fan and loves spending time in the beautiful Montana mountains.
