English Teens Main Talk Speaker

Growing up as a church kid wasn’t always the easiest for Pastor Taylor, and a unique set of circumstances led him to abandon his faith in his teens. It wasn’t until he was older that he rededicated his life to Christ, and has been passionate about serving Christ and the Church ever since. Based on Pastor Taylor’s experience, he has a desire for students to come to know Christ and for them to be examples of Christ’s love to the broken world around us.

Pastor Taylor has been in ministry for over a decade, where he has served as a Young Adult’s Pastor, a Senior Pastor, and a Youth Pastor. He grauated from Summit Pacific College with a Bachelors of Pastoral Theology, and holds a Master of Divinity from Regent University in Virginia Beach. In his spare time Pastor Taylor likes to cook, read, spend time with his family, and play the occasional video game.
