Pastor Bill Taylor, with Pastor Ken Dockery, planted CityView church in downtown Cleveland. Bill was a public school government teacher and coach in Pennsylvania and a former principal at Medina Christian Academy, OH. Currently, Bill teaches, preaches, mentors and trains those interested in becoming associate pastors, and handles almost all administrative tasks. He also serves part-time as a Field Supervisor for Cleveland State University student teachers. He holds an MDiv from Reformed Theological Seminary, a Master’s equivalency (education) from the state of PA, and an MA in Ministry from Bethany Divinity College and Seminary. His wife Natalie, a former microbiologist, recently received an MA in Social Justice and Community Organizing from Prescott College. She serves part-time as a Field Interviewer for NORC at the University of Chicago. Natalie enjoys teaching women’s Bible study, helping in the children’s room, and serving others in an advocacy capacity. Bill and Natalie live in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. Four of their five children live and work in Cleveland. The fifth will be a professor in Michigan. Their youngest son attends Westside Christian Academy in Westlake where Natalie is the incoming Chair of the Board of Trustees. Both Bill and Natalie are cheering graduates and true blue fans of Penn State. Bill also enjoys playing team tennis and reading books to his new granddaughter. The Taylors’ mid-1980s launch into their urban ministry journey was influenced by Keith Phillips of World Impact and EAPE summer missions in Philadelphia, PA. Their marriage theme verse is Psalm 126:3, “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
