Phil and Kaylin Tuttle - Lead Pastors
Phil and Kaylin were both born and raised in New Hampshire and with a passion to play soccer and travel the world, they never imagined they would be planted in New Hampshire! After being raised in the church, they both had marking moments with the Lord, giving them a fire for God and passion to serve Him wholeheartedly. In 2012, Phil & Kaylin met in a small prayer room and the rest was history! They were married in 2014 in Manchester, NH, not knowing that soon after this, the Lord would plant them in this very city.
In 2018, Phil and Kaylin stepped in as Lead Pastors of Zeal and the Lord gave them a mission to “adopt the city of Manchester and rewrite its future.” They moved their family to Manchester and have been laboring in this city ever since- believing for Manchester to look just like heaven.
Phil and Kaylin have four incredible kids and their family is passionate about helping people center their lives around the Presence of God, living in a constant state of personal revival and then bringing reformation to the places God has planted them.
