Art Dyer has over thirty-seven years of pastoral ministry experience, including seven years in the Philadelphia, PA area, and twelve years as a staff chaplain at the University of Missouri Hospital. Art and his wife Linda of thirty-nine years, have a vision for urban development - to see lives renewed, families restored, and neighborhoods revitalized. 

The Dyers have lived in Columbia since 1993. Together they have three sons, Wesley, Bradley, and Troy, and a daughter, Laurie, as well as, a grandson. In 2010 their family got a bit larger as they welcomed their new daughter in-laws, Kara and Brianna. This summer the Dyers will be welcoming a new daughter in-law into the family, when their oldest son Wesley marries his fiance Keri.
