Reverend Dave Taylor, Pmp, Pmi-Rmp, Pcc, Dtm Email & Phone Number

I serve as pastor of Maple Grove Church. Details below.Preaching: Proclaiming the Gospel and guiding the spiritual journey of the congregation. I nurture the congregation according to the vision, fostering spiritual growth that aligns with it. As the spiritual leader of the congregation, I prepare and deliver sermons, provide pastoral care, administer sacraments (such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals), and guide the congregation in their spiritual growth. In the Wesleyan tradition, the emphasis is on personal and social holiness, as well as the process of sanctification.Teaching: I direct the education and discipleship of the congregation, helping them to grow in their faith and live it out in their daily lives.Healing: I offer pastoral care and counseling, providing support and guidance to congregation members in times of need, often giving guidance on moral and ethical issues, and helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges.Leading: This includes responsibilities related to leadership, administration, and personal development within the church, including casting a vision for the church. This involves discerning and communicating God's will for the congregation's direction, growth, and impact within their community. This vision-setting process requires working closely with the church's board or council and includes inspiring, mobilizing, and leading the congregation towards the fulfillment of that vision. The vision aligns with the principles of Wesleyan theology, the needs and capabilities of the congregation, and the wider community context. Coaching and Personal Development: I help individuals understand their strengths and weaknesses, improve their interpersonal skills, and achieve their personal and spiritual goals. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, I help ensure that every member of the congregation is equipped to contribute effectively to the church's mission and to their own personal journey of faith.
