In his former positions, Tuel led and coordinated the work of worship musicians, worship leaders, and tech volunteers in addition to preaching and teaching new member and discipleship classes. He served most recently as a volunteer worship leader and small group leader at Victory Church in Lancaster and was previously ordained by the Brethren in Christ and the Southern Baptist Church.
