Baptized at the age of twelve, Gary Taylor started pastoral training at birth.  The son of Rev. & Mrs. Horace Taylor, Gary observed first hand the duties, joys and sorrows of a pastor.  When he entered Philadelphia College of Bible, now PBU, he had already recognized his calling and seminary training was a part of the plan.

 While in college, he met Lois Brown, another Pastor’s Kid.  After graduation, with a BS in both Music and Bible, Gary and Lois were wed in July 1978.  Immediately after the wedding, the couple headed west to Western Conservative Baptist Seminary in Portland, OR, where Gary received his Master of Divinity in 1982. 

After leaving seminary, Gary became Pastor Taylor when he accepted the appointment at Central Baptist Church in Millerstown, PA.  He served at Central Baptist until accepting the pastoral yoke at First Baptist of Morrisville in 1989.  He also added to his spiritual challenges in 1989 when he became a chaplain in the PA Army National Guard.  He has served in Kosovo and is scheduled to deploy to Iraq sometime in the fall of 2008.   

Gary is the proud father of five and shepherd to many more.  I proudly call him pastor.
