Pastor Jeremy Taylor

Lead Pastor

Life-giving part of your ministry:
I love being part of the moments where people fully engage the Gospel in their lives, and it moves them forward in their faith journey. My passion ignites when I witness individuals, especially teams of people, fully engage their gifts and skills to reach a shared goal of being an active part of God’s kingdom advancing into the community.

 

Education:

Recent God at work in me moment:
The move from Portland, OR to Federal Way came with many situations out of my control, which is not an easy place for me to be and it was exactly where God needs me!  I am being taught again how to trust God’s best for me, and my family is what’s best for me.

Failure you learned from:
I was in a situation of relational tension, and I kept putting off stepping into that uncomfortable conversation. When we finally made an effort to engage, it was a more difficult untangle because of the time that had lapsed, so I was reminded of the wisdom in keeping short accounts and making the conversation a priority in the present saves heartache in the future.
