1960-1970s

Ministry during a Time of Change

Picture
Reverend D.W. Taylor served from 1963- 1969, those turbulent years of national unrest with three assassinations in our country. 

Christian response to the revolutionary changes of the sixties is still evident. Some researchers say that contemporary music and a more relaxed, casual approach toward church are its major contributions. It was a turbulent and troubling time, causing  many Americans to confront  issues such as race, gender, sexuality, war, authority, and patriotism.
​
​Pastor Taylor was with us for most of this period.  The Sunday School wing and chapel were built and dedicated during his stay.
